Efficiently Resolving Animal Law Disputes

Types of Animal Law Mediation

As courts have become overwhelmed with burgeoning caseloads, there has been increased pressure on disputants to seek resolution to their cases in a private pay mediation context. There are many forms of alternative dispute resolution, but the most common types are mediation, which includes facilitative, evaluative, and transformative, and arbitration, where the mediator is typically granted binding decision-making authority.

Animal Law Mediation

Benefits of mediation include lower cost and confidentiality. Those involved may have leniency to devise their own solution rather than in a court context. There is also a growing body of evidence that if a conflict is settled in a mediation context, the likelihood of compliance with the agreement is increased.

If you have already selected a mediator, Barbara can serve as your representative in the mediation process. In Barbara’s opinion, preparation for mediation, which is often ignored, is vital to a desirable outcome. She serves clients statewide, including in Anoka County, Hennepin County, and Ramsey County.

Animal Law Arbitration

Particularly in Family Law, issues regarding the division of household goods, furnishings, and pet property are often not dealt with in the mediation process and instead are referred for binding arbitration. If the parties have agreed on an arbitrator, Barbara can serve as your representative in the arbitration process.
