We have established a reputation as leaders in the advancement and use of practical and creative strategies to resolve disputed matters.
We offer three types of creative alternatives to the traditional litigation and court based model of dispute resolution: collaborative family law, mediation, and arbitration. Our alternative dispute resolution services help parties resolve their disputes in quicker, more cost-effective, and less adversarial ways. With the assistance of our ADR professionals, clients can achieve results with a higher rate of satisfaction that are more likely to ensure long-term compliance with agreements and orders. DBB offers mediation and arbitration for family law, civil, and estate disputes. Our professionals can assist with a range of hourly rates to fit most budgets, starting from $325 per hour and up.
