Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for Faster Solutions

Litigation isn’t always the best option. At MB Legal Firm, we offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, such as:
✅ Mediation – Helping both parties reach a mutual agreement without court intervention.
✅ Arbitration – A legally binding resolution process handled by an independent arbitrator.
✅ Negotiation – Working directly with both parties to find a fair and cost-effective solution.

ADR is often faster, less expensive, and less stressful than traditional court cases, allowing landlords and tenants to resolve disputes professionally.
