Why ADR?


There are many excellent reasons for using an ADR forum to resolve disputes.


ADR is cost-effective and expeditious.

The flexible procedures employed in ADR allow the parties to forego the strict rules imposed by the courts and proceed in a more relaxed atmosphere.

The parties have a say in the neutral presiding, as well as the time and location of the hearing/conference.

Privacy and confidentiality are ensured.

The proceedings and the outcome of the case are not made public record.

The hearing officers, most of whom are former Judges, are skillful, impartial, knowlegeable, and trained experts.

ADR eliminates unpredictable judicial decisions and excessive jury verdicts, which may lead to a one or two year appeal process and the associated expenses.

As we are all aware, in the halls of justice, most of the justice is done in the halls, and the only thing certain about litigation...is the expense. We at Settlement Systems realize that most disputes do settle on the courthouse steps. Why wait the years it takes to get to that point? Cases can and will be developed and evaluated much sooner if there is some possibility for their closure. The staff at Settlement Systems stands ready to bring the courthouse steps to you...TODAY!
