If you have a legal issue that needs resolving you do not have to go through the courts. Most legal issues are a result of two sides disagreeing; communication is the key to resolving any dispute. It is usually at the point that you are no longer able to discuss the issue with the other party that you turn to court action. This breakdown in communication is the result of both parties stubbornly refusing to compromise and creating a stalemate. The art of negotiation and mediation is communication and compromise.

When a disagreement reaches this stage it is time to turn to someone for professional advice. A professional mediator is someone who is versed in the ways of Alternate Dispute resolution (ADR); this is a method of finding a solution without needing to resort to the legal route; which is both costly and time consuming. By agreeing to enter into an ADR, both parties will retain the ability to present their argument and control the outcome; the point is not to allow a judge to decide what should be done but to allow both parties to compromise and reach an appropriate, fair solution.

Daniel Yamshon (http://www.adrservicesinternational.com) is a Sacramento based mediator with a vast amount of experience in dealing with both arbitration and mediation. He offers mediation as an opportunity for two parties to come together and reach a mutual agreement, aided by him as a mediator. Alternatively, it is possible to undertake arbitration, where evidence is prepared and submitted by both parties; with or without the help of a lawyer. The arbitrator then makes a decision which is binding on both parties.

The advantage of using either of these routes is that the matter can be resolved in a matter of months, as opposed to years; it is also portable, if the two parties are large distances apart the mediator can travel in between them or even arrange a conference call.
