Alternative Dispute Resolution

Although judges and juries play a vital role in resolving disputes between parties in our court system, they usually do not understand the dispute as well as the parties themselves. Formal trials and court proceedings are often expensive and time consuming. In recent years parties involved in civil disputes including claims and lawsuits involving business, contract, personal injury and domestic relations, have turned to trained neutral professionals to assist them in a number of alternative dispute resolution processes to allow them to resolve their cases by settlement or agreement.

The attorneys at Smith & Turley are experienced in alternative dispute resolution. The law firm also offers special services to parties as a dispute resolution neutral with special training and experience in conducting dispute resolution procedures established by the Missouri Supreme Court.
