Arbitration
When disputes cannot be resolved through negotiation alone, arbitration provides a reliable and efficient path forward. Harold Paddock brings more than 53 years of legal and litigation experience to the arbitration process, helping parties reach final resolutions through a fair, structured, and professional proceeding. Arbitration offers an alternative to traditional courtroom litigation, often saving valuable time and reducing the complexity associated with lengthy legal disputes. In arbitration, the parties present evidence and legal arguments under relaxed rules. Based on everything presented, the arbitrator makes a decision on the outcome.
Drawing on decades of experience as a Magistrate, Court Mediator, and dispute resolution professional, Mr. Paddock carefully evaluates the facts, listens to all parties involved, and conducts arbitration proceedings with impartiality and professionalism. His goal is to provide a clear and efficient process that helps parties move beyond conflict and toward resolution.

Resolving Disputes With Clarity and Confidence
Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process that allows parties to present their positions before a neutral arbitrator who reviews the evidence and issues a decision. Compared to traditional litigation, arbitration often provides a more streamlined, cost-effective, and efficient method of resolving disagreements. Unlike mediation, an arbitrator DOES MAKE a decision on the outcome of the case based on the facts and the law.
Harold Paddock works with parties involved in business disputes, contractual conflicts, civil claims, and other complex matters, providing a structured forum where disputes can be addressed fairly and professionally.
Types of Arbitration Matters
Generally, any civil dispute can be submitted to arbitration. The pathways into arbitration are: (1) by agreement of the parties, (2) by a pre-existing contract provision, or (3) by order of a court.
