What if suit has already been filed?
Even after a suit has been filed, parties and their counsel often find it helpful to explore alternatives to the court system. MARS provides panels of professionals in a variety of dispute resolution fields to help attorneys and their clients choose the method best suited to their needs. In fact, the Sonoma County courts have recently recognized this trend, creating an Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution to help litigants and their counsel use Mediation as a practical dispute resolution tool. It too draws from the MARS Panel of mediators.
