Alternative Dispute Resolution
The expertise of Rasmussen Starr Ruddy’s litigators also extends to the areas of mediation and arbitration. These alternatives provide the parties to a dispute with an opportunity to resolve their differences without the need to litigate before the courts. In addition to potential cost savings, the alternative dispute resolution process can also reduce the time required to resolve a dispute by avoiding lengthy court proceedings, keeping disputes out of the public eye, allowing the parties to have a say in the selection of the mediator or arbitrator, and helping to maintain relationships between disputing parties rather than turn them into adversaries. RSR regularly represents clients in mediations and arbitrations.
I have referred several people to Melody MacDonell over the years. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone at Rasmussen Starr Ruddy.
A big thank you to Melody and her staff. Melody is straight forward and knows her stuff. Although going through a separation is hard, I was very confident things would work out in my favor. And they did. Looking forward to the next new chapter to begin. Thanks again Melody.
I don’t know what I would have done without them. You may not remember every word they say, but you’ll never forget how they make you feel.
Their personal skills are great: they’re very easy to deal with. I question a lot and they’re very accommodating.
I like the fact that I can pick up the phone and talk to my lawyer, not an assistant. Other firms are getting too big to provide personal service.
They have a clear understanding of our business and are very responsive. The partners are well respected among their peers.
They’re prompt, intelligent, give good advice, and charge reasonable rates.
