It may be surprising to learn, but the vast majority of cases in litigation never make it to trial.  While every litigant must be prepared to bring a case to judge or jury, the fact is, most cases resolve through negotiation, mediation or arbitration before either side steps foot in a court room.  More and more businesses are relying on mandatory arbitration clauses to resolve employment disputes.  Why?  Because trials can be expensive, distracting,  time consuming and unpredictable. 

Plaintiffs and Defendants, Employers and Employees, Insurance Companies and Victims of Injury, all find they can better control the outcome of their case while minimizing the time, cost and stress associated with trial through skillful implementation of negotiation and mediation. 

Attorney Rice is not only an experienced advocate but she also serves as a mediator for the New Hampshire Human Rights Commission and Judicial Branch.  Having sat on both sides of the mediation table has helped her bring valuable perspective and understanding to the process and most importantly, for the prompt and mutually beneficial resolution of the matter to the parties.
