Alternative Dispute Resolution: Mediation And Arbitration
Even though Arizona courts move at a much quicker pace than the courts of many other states, the process is still time-consuming and expensive. Alternative Dispute Resolution is a modern response to these time and money concerns and may be appropriate for a particular case. Even in cases which are filed as lawsuits, the trial court may offer or order some form of ADR.

What to Expect When Working With Us
We understand that legal disputes can be stressful, time-consuming, and costly. Mediation and arbitration provide effective alternatives to traditional litigation, allowing parties to resolve conflicts more efficiently and privately. Our team will guide you through every step of the process, helping you understand your options and ensuring that your case is handled with fairness, professionalism, and respect.
1. Initial Consultation
We’ll listen to your story, review the details of your dispute, and provide an honest assessment of whether mediation or arbitration is right for your case. This consultation is free, and there’s no obligation to proceed.
2. Investigation Phase
If we move forward with your mediation or arbitration matter, we will gather all relevant materials including contracts, correspondence, court filings, and prior settlement documents to fully understand the dispute. When appropriate, we work with experienced industry and legal experts who meet Arizona’s standards for credibility and neutrality to ensure every issue is presented clearly and effectively during the mediation or arbitration process.
3. Claim Development
We’ll carefully evaluate the facts, assess the full scope of your dispute, and prepare the materials needed to support your position in mediation or arbitration. This includes developing clear settlement proposals, outlining key arguments, and ensuring all documentation is ready to present your case effectively and persuasively.
4. Negotiation or Litigation
We’ll work to achieve a fair and efficient resolution through mediation or arbitration, using negotiation to help both parties reach common ground whenever possible. If an agreement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to move forward with arbitration or, if necessary, take the matter to court to protect your interests.

Mediation
Mediation is an opportunity to resolve cases before taking a dispute to trial. In trial, strangers decide a case based on the limited information allowed to be introduced as evidence. In mediation, the parties strive to reach an agreement that ends the dispute. Mediation also helps to save at least some of the often enormous costs of litigation and trial, which permits parties to be more flexible with the terms of settlement.
Jeff Miller assists attorneys and their clients to reach a resolution that provides the security that comes with finality. He does so with over 35 years of experience in litigation. His experience includes over a decade at a noted Phoenix insurance defense firm as well as his current position at Miller Kory Rowe handling cases on behalf of injured parties. He is certified as a specialist in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death law by the State Bar of Arizona, which requires trial experience as well as demonstrated expertise in those areas. His ongoing experience as a lawyer actually trying cases brings real world knowledge about trial and its prospects to the table.
Jeff accepts mediation assignments in all areas of personal injury law, including: auto, motorcycle and trucking accidents, legal malpractice, medical malpractice, insurance bad faith, construction site and other injury cases.
Arbitration
In an arbitration, the arbitrator sits in the role of judge, hearing evidence and making a decision which resolves a dispute. It is a very different role than that of a mediator, who helps the parties find a resolution they reach by agreement. Arbitration offers the potential for finality (when the arbitration is “binding”) or can give the parties a preview of how an independent person or jury might decide a case (when the arbitration is “non-binding”).
Jeff Miller serves in the role of arbitrator when asked to do so by counsel for parties who have been unable to reach an agreement and do not wish to mediate.
Real Client Testimonials
Our dedication to achieving successful outcomes for our clients is reflected in the authentic stories they share in our testimonials.
Many of these families came to us after discovering neglect in a nursing home or care facility.
“Teri Rowe and the team at MKR are highly recommended. My family and I went to Teri under the worst of circumstances and she was always kind, comforting, and helpful. Our case was complicated, sad, confusing and frustrating. She managed everything wonderfully. Our family lawyer referred us to Teri because Teri has a reputation for being the best. She definitely lives up to her reputation.”
— Michael Stenoien
“My sisters and I couldn’t have made a better choice by choosing Miller Kory Rowe to represent us. From day one to the end, their empathy, their professionalism and their confidence in our case never wavered. We were given the faith and they kept it. Their approach was completely professional but their concern for our case was equally personal. They took into account every little detail. They valued for us, our family values and ensured justice was done. We now have complete closure that this lawsuit is behind us, we can move forward knowing that we got some measure of justice for the harm done to our mother. Thank you so much Liz, Gabe and Stephanie.”
— Sherrie Dudek
“From our initial consultation to our final settlement. Miller, Kory and Rowe was with us every step of the way. Gabe and team kept us abreast of any updates on the case in a timely fashion and were always, often within minutes of an email, to walk us through what was happening in our case or clarify any questions we may have.
MKR’s compassion and thoughtfulness was genuine and was able to ease our minds in what was a difficult time with the passing of our mom. Gabe’s experience with these cases was very evident in our interactions and we had the utmost confidence in his representation. I would highly recommend MKR if you are ever in need of an attorney.”
