Alternative Dispute Resolution Practice

Mr. Day is an alternative dispute resolution professional.  He has hundreds of hours mediating or representing clients in mediation of all types of disputes including without limitation construction, real estate, commercial and family disputes.  Mr. Day also offers arbitration services.  Mr. Day's mediation and arbitration services offer quick, simple and inexpensive alternatives to the prolonged, highly formal and expensive procedures of court.
 
MEDIATION:
"'Mediation' means a process in which a mediator facilitates communication and negotiation between parties to assist them in reaching a voluntary agreement regarding their dispute."  Utah Code Section 78B-10-102(2).  Accordingly, as a mediator, Mr. Day is a neutral third party trained in the law and the art of peacemaking who can help disputing parties resolve their disputes, but he cannot order a resolution of your dispute.  Through an effective mediation process most disputes can be resolved quickly and without all the heartache and expense of litigation.
ARBITRATION:
"'Arbitrator' means an individual appointed to render an award, alone or with others, in a controversy that is subject to an agreement to arbitrate."  Utah Code Section 78B-10-102(2). Unlike mediation, arbitration results in a compelled resolution of your dispute.  As an arbitrator, Mr. Day will hear your dispute much like a judge would hear your dispute in court, but with much less formality, on an expedited schedule in a private setting.  When disputing parties cannot resolve their disputes by agreement through mediation or otherwise, arbitration offers a quick and inexpensive path to a final resolution.
