ADR options engage the help of a neutral third-party.  Your lawyer’s job is to look out for your best interests.  An experienced family law attorney will help you understand the pros and cons of any suggestion that is proposed by the mediator or arbitrator.  Our lawyers can help you propose a counteroffer that might better suit your needs.  We can also advocate on your behalf within the arbitration hearing itself, presenting evidence that could convince the other party of the value of your position.
