Dowling, Aaron & Keeler has recognized that Alternative Dispute Resolution {ADR} is a diverse and rapidly evolving practice area. The firm has established an ADR department which we believe is the first in the five county central valley area. The department includes two retired appellate justices, a former city attorney and several of our most experienced attorneys. ADR has emerged as an invaluable tool for the resolution of controversies that previously would have required countless hours of legal work and judicial intervention. All of our attorneys have experience in advocacy and conflict resolution. Members of our ADR team are recognized as experts dedicated to the efficient resolution of legal matters involving construction, real estate, employment law, complex litigation, legal and accounting malpractice, unfair competition, estate and trust litigation, business and accounting disputes, health care provider disputes, medical malpractice, and governmental issues. The combined experience of these lawyers has made Dowling, Aaron & Keeler a regional leader in alternative dispute resolution. With decades of experience in case evaluation, mediation and arbitration our ADR department can quickly pinpoint the legal issues that drive litigation and offer a forum for resolution outside the courtroom. By using a less adversarial approach we are able to resolve cases early-often before the parties must incur the expenses associated with extensive discovery and the retention of experts.
