Alternative Dispute Resolution

Many construction and real estate contracts include a clause which proposes arbitration as the sole method for construction dispute resolution. While arbitration may be a cost-efficient method to resolve construction litigation, it is not appropriate for each circumstance. Attorney Stephen W. Bialkowski has served as an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association for construction matters. Therefore, McLellan & Bialkowski understand intricacies of arbitration that many other attorneys do not.

The firm utilizes their knowledge to carefully evaluate a client's situation and objectives, and advise the client of the most effective methods for moving forward based on their unique needs. The firm is experienced with the latest methods of alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration, mediation, mini trials, and negotiation.
