What are the benefits of ADR?
The benefits of ADR are saving the expenses of litigation, time involved in litigation, and being able to have frank discussions about the strengths and weaknesses of your case. Trials involve attorney fees, witness fees, deposition fees for both the witness and the court reporter, and court fees. Unfortunately the parties and the attorneys may find that they have prepared for trial on several occasions before the case actually foes to trial. The attorneys will want to be paid and the parties will be nagered by their waste of time.
