Alternative Dispute Resolution

What Is Alternative Dispute Resolution?

A dispute with your HOA can be stressful, but a lawsuit is not always the answer. Alternative dispute resolution, or ADR, is one alternative.

What is ADR?

ADR is a term for resolving disputes outside a traditional courtroom and without litigation. Rather than filing suit right away, the parties try to reach a solution in a less formal setting. The two most common forms are mediation and arbitration. Both aim to resolve the dispute without a trial, but they work differently and can produce different results.
