Welcome to Commercial ADR

Whether you are just looking for general information about ADR (alternative dispute resolution), or are in need of ADR services (Business to Business – “B2B,” and Business to Consumer – “B2C”), Welcome! We hope this website will be of help to you.

We are presently revising this site to better meet our goal of helping our visitors – attorneys and non-attorneys alike, whatever their reason for being here, and we ask for your patience while we work on our website.

Meanwhile, if you need arbitration, mediation, or other ADR services, you will find Judge Smith’s curriculum vitae (CV), professional fees, and contact information by clicking the related tabs at the top of this page.
