Judge Howard R. Broadman | Arbitration • Mediation • Consultation

I would like to assist you in resolving the disputed issues in your matter. To help you make an informed choice, I want to tell you something about me and about my judicial philosophy.

The United States clearly has the best judicial system in the world and, in many cases, court is the best venue for dispute resolution. However, when one or both parties approach litigation as something other than a means of securing justice, the process can become expensive and time consuming. Often, alternative dispute resolution is the better choice.

Mediation and arbitration tend to be less intimidating processes than litigation for the parties and for their attorneys. The less formal nature of these alternative methods of dispute resolution allows the parties to arrive at creative solutions to their problems that might not be available to them in a formal court proceeding.

Benefits of Mediation and Arbitration:

Mediation and arbitration are inherently efficient and cost-effective and, when done properly, can achieve outcomes that attorneys and litigants will respect;
Issues can be resolved with and without legal counsel. Couples going through divorce often find mediation a productive way to resolve differences and bring closure to their situation;
Cases are handled expeditiously. In arbitration, a determination and judgment are issued timely.
