Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution
While litigating cases is a strong suit at Hoagland Longo, we also recognize that in certain situations, Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) may provide a quick, efficient, and economic means of resolving disputes. We have several senior members of the bar available to utilize their decades of experience in resolving matters through the ADR process.
Judge Mark Epstein is counsel to the firm and spearheads the ADR efforts. Since retiring from the bench in June 2005 , Judge Epstein has limited his practice to serving as a mediator, arbitrator and special discovery master in complex environmental insurance coverage, substantial personal injury, comercial, construction, employment and matrimonial matters.
Jim Moran, one of our founding partners, is active in the ADR process as well. Jim 's background includes working as a independent claims rep at his family insurance agency prior to attending law school. He came away with a unique sensitivity to the needs of the insurance industry.
At the firm Jim has handled a wide variety of claims (for both plaintiffs and defendants) in the areas of general negligence, malpractice, insurance coverage and products liability.
The success of our ADR Program is a tribute to the experience, efficiency, fair-mindedness and professionalism of our attorneys.
