Based on the statistics 94% to 98% of all cases filed in the courts settle prior to trial, but not before each party has spent thousands of dollars in fees, costs, and their own time just getting to the elusive trial. So, why not save money, time , and a lot of aggravation by focusing your time and money on the effective and early resolution of your dispute? Maybe it’s because “men and nations behave wisely only after they have exhausted all other alternatives.”(Abba Eban)
It takes courage to behave wisely and keep your head about you when everyone else is losing theirs and blaming it on you.
