Arbitration or Mediation Versus a Jury Trial
Litigation is expensive and time consuming. Depending on the complexity of the case, the costs of discovery and expert testimony can cost thousands of dollars to present to a jury. The cost of a single expert may range anywhere from $1,500.00 to $25,000.00, not including the cost to preserve that testimony for playback at trial. Moreover, the time spent out of the office in a jury trial may range between two days to several weeks. Alternative Litigation Solutions offers an efficient, relatively inexpensive alternative to the litigation process. By agreeing to remove a case to Alternative Litigation Solutions, a case is resolved and disposed of at a fraction of the cost of a jury trial. Moreover, as opposed to the strict case management deadlines imposed by the court, removing a case to Alternative Litigation Solutions provides flexibility in scheduling and re-scheduling hearings.
