HOW TO RESOLVE YOUR CASE WITHOUT COURT

Step 1: Learn  Your Options

Step 2: Choose Your Professionals

It is important to jointly select the right process. Once decided upon, you can use the directory on this website to find a settlement professional in your area. Some professionals will offer joint “process” consultations.
