alternative dispute resolution
Is the lawyer verbage : ''alternative dispute resolution'' the same process as going through county dispute resolution services offered through the state of California? If they are the same, then I'd like to know why my attorney charged me for him to be there when in fact, noone but the two in the dispute are supposed to be there, along with a mediator. Also, why was there a charge for this private alternative dispute resolution service? And why did the mediator tell me I had no chance of winning my dispute? Isn't it the job of the mediator to help us to come up with an outcome that benefits all?
