ADR (Mediation) is a process offered by the court and others to help people resolve their disputes without going to trial. By using ADR (Mediation), you may not have to file a lawsuit, and if you do file a lawsuit, you may be able to avoid a trial. ADR (Mediation) is usually less formal, less expensive, and less time-consuming than a trial and may also give the parties more control over when and how their dispute is resolved.
