Top-Ranking Law Firm Now Helping Clients Avoid Long, Costly Court Battles With New Service

MEDFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS—If you’re like most people, the mere thought of finding yourself entangled in a lengthy, stressful legal matter can be completely nerve-wracking. However, the expert attorneys at Next Phase Legal hope to change that. Recently, the firm assembled a dedicated team for a new service simply called: Civil Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

“We are enthused about being able to provide more options for individuals and organizations to resolve conflict in a way that promotes a problem-solving approach instead of the adversarial litigation system,” stated Stephen McDonough, Esq. with Next Phase Legal LLC.

ADR can help clients settle their disputes without engaging in a long, costly court battles. Court based litigation is often a poor choice to settle disputes, according to McDonough. It can take years to get a final judgment and the parameters of any court imposed judgment are limited by what the law allows.

“Resolving legal issues should not be equate to a ‘one-size fits all’ approach,” stated McDonough. “For many civil cases, a long and expensive trial is not what is best. Oftentimes, clients would have to trek into Boston and be subjected to high hourly rates to obtain ADR services in civil cases.”

Next Phase Legal’s panel members are available to serve in a number of different ADR roles, including: mediator, conciliator, case evaluator and arbitrator. The team has extensive experience across a wide spectrum of civil legal matters, working closely with small and medium-sized businesses, individuals, and organizations to resolve conflicts.

“Those seeking the services of an ADR professional have more options right here in the suburbs in a more relaxed setting,” explained McDonough. “With the assistance of experienced professionals from our ADR Panel, court-based cases can be resolved more efficiently.”

For clients eager to avoid the adversarial and often intimidating atmosphere of the courtroom, hefty legal fees and time consuming distractions—ADR is the go-to service that takes the massive headache out of civil litigation, giving clients piece of mind.
