Lawyers in Mesa know the laws of Arizona, and can offer individualized advice for those involved in business disputes.

All types of ADR are designed to reach the same decision a court would have, without needing to actually go to court. They carry their own sets of procedures and protocols, and they often involve a neutral third party listening to both sides of a dispute and making a decision based on local law. If ADR is to be used in resolving your dispute, an attorney in Mesa specialized with ADR procedures can help you develop your case.
