The best way to win a lawsuit may be by not having a lawsuit.
The most successful strategy for winning a lawsuit could very well lie in avoiding one altogether.
At Juridical Solutions, we are dedicated to offering confidential, professional and efficient Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services; services designed to help you navigate and resolve disputes effectively.
Our neutrals are comprised entirely of retired Judges. They have the unique experience of adjudicating legal disputes. Because of this unique skill set, the judges at JS bring a wealth of understanding and wisdom to help you resolve and avoid the continued stress of litigation.
Mediation
Mediation allows parties to work through difficult issues. It avoids the expense, stress, and uncertainty of litigation. Mediation allows the parties to design a solution creatively and informally. With the mediation process you don’t leave the decision to a virtual stranger. Mediating your disputes rather than presenting the issues to a judge will give you ownership over the solution.
Arbitration
Arbitration is similar but an alternative to litigating in court. It is a formal process where parties select a neutral third party, called an arbitrator, to resolve a dispute. However, arbitration is more efficient, costs less, and is not as complex as formal litigation. Attorneys will represent the parties involved in the dispute. There will be discovery, hearings (as needed), testimony under oath, and a court reporter. The arbitrator(s) will render a final and binding decision.
Judge Pro Tem
A Judge Pro Tem (JPT) has the same powers and duties as a regularly elected Circuit Court Judge (see VA Code Section 17.1-110). This process allows the parties to choose their own judge for their case. The parties retain control of scheduling and deadlines that are part of the litigation process. Our retired circuit court judges are uniquely qualified to serve as a JPT.
Experience the Experience
The time, expense and stress of litigation can be mitigated by choosing a different path to resolve your dispute. Our retired judges specialize in navigating the complexities of the legal system and will help you find opportunities for amicable resolution. Let the experience of our JS judges work for you to create your own path with your own solution.

What to Expect in
Alternative Dispute Resolution
When to Use ADR
The short answer is: anytime there is a dispute.
Mediation works in any setting where the parties have the capacity and the ability to make informed decisions.
In consultation with your attorney, it will be your decision when to explore ADR. And ADR is not limited to just family law, it can be used in personal injury, estate, and property disputes, and employment matters.
Preparing for ADR
Our neutrals will work with counsel prior to the session to make sure that on the "day of " everyone has a good grasp of the issues to be resolved.
Arbitration will generally require more formal submissions in advance of the hearing and communions between the arbitrator(s).
Mediation may involve informal confidential submissions to the neutral and pre-session conference calls with the mediator.
During the Session
Arbitration is a formal process that will generally consist of opening statements, presentation of evidence, and a ruling to be provided by the arbitrator.
Mediation will generally consist of introductions, pledge of confidentiality, joint and/or separate caucusing, and closure with an agreement signed by all the parties.
