WE ARE HERE TO HELP RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTES
Litigation can be financially and emotionally costly to everyone involved. The increasing cost of lawsuits, delay due to the overwhelmed court dockets, and the uncertainty of the outcome of a lawsuit are more than most involved parties can bear.
Mediation and other dispute resolution processes offer a unique advantage over taking the risk in court - having control in the outcome of the dispute. Solutions can be creative and specifically designed to meet the facts and circumstances of each situation. The entire process is confidential which permits the parties, their attorneys, and the mediator to explore solutions that are "outside the box" while the content of the creative process is protected from public disclosure.
Mediation can also be utilized to avoid a lawsuit in many cases with a binding pre-suit settlement agreement.
North Texas Litigation Solutions offers mediators who have a variety of specialized, experienced-based skills that can accommodate any type of dispute.
Above all, the mediators of North Texas Litigation Solutions strongly believe that negotiating disputes outside of the courtroom where all parties have input and control in crafting the solution can be the most cost-effective and productive way for resolution.
