Cost-Efficient, Comprehensive Dispute Resolution

Whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant, litigating a case can be extremely costly and time-consuming. In addition, the anxiety, lost productivity and overall distraction caused by a court case can be seen as added "costs." For many adversaries, it makes sense to engage in mediation or arbitration, which are usually less costly, less bitter and often lead to more satisfying results.

Attorney Frank Cowan can serve as mediator or arbitrator in the following types of cases:

  • Personal injury and wrongful death
  • Insurance disputes
  • Workers' compensation
  • Divorce, child custody and other family law disputes
  • Medical malpractice
  • Product liability, including defective, dangerous and poorly designed products

Alternative Dispute Resolution

If you are involved in a legal dispute, alternatives to litigation may be a great benefit to you, your company and your family. To speak with attorney Frank Cowan, please call 804-320-9100, toll free 800-948-7160 or contact our law firm online.
