Dispute Resolution
“Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will be business enough.”
Abraham Lincoln said that when he was a successful and widely respected real estate and trial lawyer in Illinois. His statement applies equally well today. That is, after all, one of a lawyer’s highest callings.
While I am no longer actively litigating, I may be able to use my litigation experience to help resolve your case before it gets into the court system. Since more than 90% of cases ultimately settle, it may be helpful to consider early opportunities for alternative dispute resolution such as mediation.
