Alternative Dispute Resolution, or ADR, refers to a set of methods and processes used to resolve disputes outside of traditional litigation. ADR methods are considered alternatives to going to court and provide parties with more flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and control over the resolution process.



Mediation is one of the most commonly used forms of ADR. It is a voluntary and confidential process where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, assists the disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. The Mediator does not impose a decision but facilitates communication and negotiation between the parties to help them find a resolution that meets their needs and interests.


During Mediation, the Mediator creates a safe and structured environment for parties to express their concerns, explore potential solutions, and work towards a mutually agreeable outcome. David V. Hasin, Esq. is trained in communication and negotiation techniques and can help parties identify common ground, clarify issues, and brainstorm creative solutions. Mr. Hasin's role, as Mediator, is to promote dialogue, ensure fairness, and help the parties maintain a constructive atmosphere.

Mediation can be used in various types of disputes, such as family conflicts, workplace disputes, business disputes, and civil disputes. It offers several benefits, including:

Voluntary participation: Parties willingly engage in the process and have control over the outcome. They can choose whether or not to accept the proposed resolution.


Confidentiality: Mediation is a confidential process, allowing parties to freely discuss their concerns and explore potential solutions without fear of public disclosure.


Cost-effectiveness: Mediation is generally less expensive than going to court. It reduces legal fees, avoids lengthy litigation processes, and allows for quicker resolution.


Preservation of relationships: Mediation aims to preserve or improve relationships between parties. It focuses on finding common ground and mutually beneficial solutions, which can be particularly important in ongoing relationships, such as business partnerships or family disputes.


Flexibility and creativity: Mediation offers a flexible process that can be tailored to the specific needs of the parties. It allows for creative solutions that may not be available through a court judgment.

While Mediation is often successful in resolving disputes, it is important to note that it may not be suitable for all situations. Some disputes require a binding decision, and in those cases, other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, may be more appropriate.
