Resolve Your Dispute Without a Trial

Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to any means of settling a dispute without a trial but usually refers to mediation, arbitration, neutral fact-finding, neutral case evaluation, and med-arb (a combination of mediation and arbitration). A new form of ADR, known as "Collaborative Law," is quickly being recognized as the best way of resolving many disputes. Mr. Baum has extensive experience in the collaborative law process as a leading family law attorney in Rockville, MD.

ADR can be used anytime, even after litigation has started. Maryland courts, particularly in Montgomery County, are routinely ordering ADR during the litigation process.
