Alternative Dispute Resolution in Tucson
With Mediation and Arbitration

Mediation and Arbitration Services for Southern Arizona
Not every dispute needs a judge. Lancer Law guides businesses and families across Tucson—Oro Valley, Rita Ranch, and downtown—through confidential processes that save time, money, and stress. Attorney Gerald Giordano is widely known for steady, practical negotiation as a neutral and as counsel in ADR settings.
Speed, Privacy, and Control Over Outcomes
Mediation gives parties a say in the solution, keeps details private, and can wrap up in a day or two. Arbitration offers a faster, streamlined hearing with a binding result when a contract includes an arbitration clause. For estate conflicts, we often resolve probate disputes before they harden into lawsuits, keeping families focused on what matters.
Structured Conversation with a Neutral Guide
In mediation, a neutral facilitates negotiation; no one imposes a decision. We prepare you with goals, options, and documents so you can negotiate confidently. If you need a neutral, our mediation services are available for business breakups, contract issues, and estate disagreements throughout Pima County.
Present Your Case Efficiently and Effectively
Arbitration resembles a private trial: evidence, witnesses, and a binding award under chosen rules (AAA or otherwise). We handle filings, discovery, and hearings with an eye toward speed and clarity—critical when a contract requires ADR or when both sides want closure without the public glare of court.
