Mediation & Arbitration

Child Custody Mediation Attorneys in Brooklyn

Effective Arbitration Lawyers to Alleviate Litigation Stress

Mediation and arbitration are two ways to resolve disputes through cooperative negotiation rather than litigation. They are designed to be non-adversarial processes to help the parties positively resolve their dispute.

Mediation and arbitration can be effective in all types of family law cases, including child custody and visitation, child support, property division, alimony, and other agreements that must be reached in divorce.

At Arnel Law Firm, our Brooklyn divorce mediation lawyers can represent you during these processes to ensure that your voice is heard and that your rights and interests are protected. Based in Brooklyn, we also represent clients in Manhattan, Queens, and throughout New York City.

Understanding the Mediation Process in Brooklyn

Mediation involves a third party—often a lawyer—who is specially trained in alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The neutral mediator attempts to help you and the other party resolve issues by talking them out and expressing your opinions in a constructive way.

Unlike a court trial that pits one spouse against another, mediation seeks to resolve issues through open communication and mutual agreement. A typical mediation session lasts anywhere from an hour to a full day.

Numerous studies have shown that couples filing for a divorce who choose the path of negotiation or mediation are more mutually satisfied with the terms of their divorce than those who receive court orders issued by a judge.

What You Need to Know About Arbitration

Arbitration is similar to mediation in that it uses an impartial third party and ADR techniques to avoid litigation. In arbitration, both parties present the issues they want resolved to an arbitrator, who is usually a current or former attorney or judge with extensive experience in family law. The parties have the right to select the arbitrator and the location of the arbitration.

Our Commitment to Mediation & Arbitration

At Arnel Law Firm, we understand how stressful divorce can be for the whole family. Many divorcing couples want to complete their divorce as quickly as possible. We know from experience that mediation and arbitration can be an effective means to that end.

We attend mediation and arbitration sessions with our clients to advise them on any proposed agreements so they can make informed decisions. Our highest priority is to always protect our clients' best interests.

At the conclusion of most sessions, an agreement addressing all the decisions the couple has reached is signed.

Benefits of Choosing Mediation or Arbitration Over Litigation

  • Reducing the stress of divorce
  • Reducing costs compared to litigation
  • Providing more control over the structure of each party’s post-divorce life
  • Providing confidentiality of your divorce agreement
  • Minimizing the impact of divorce on children

    “When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.”

    Mr. Arnel thank you very much for your help. When I received the court paper I wanted to call someone for help, you were the first Lawyer I call. You had help me before with some child support difficulties. And when I couldn't reach you, you daughter, Lawyer Lauren Arnel answered the phone. She was very understanding and kind enough to give me your email address. The day I came to New York City for the court date, I came with a heavy heart not knowing what's going to happen. But in the court that day Lawyer Howard Gardner presented the case beautifully and ask the court for a dismissal. And the Judge had to dismiss the case with no further argument. When I left the court room that day I was so happy my blood pressure went down.

    All in all, It was a team work from your Firm. Thank you again to Mrs. L. Arnel and Mr. H. Gardner.

    I will always recommend you Firm to anyone who is seeking legal help.

    Mr. Arnel thank you very much.

    “They are honest from the start”
    Excellent law firm. I am a father/service member that was awarded primary physical custody, final decision making of my son, and my child support payments was terminated thanks to Arnel law Firm. Curt, Lauren and Howard have years of experience and will represent you like Mike Tyson in the ring. They are relentless to the very end. They were able to prove that I was the more involved parent, had my son the majority of the time ( because of the mother choices), and was able to prove the mother's statement of having our son half the time was false along with many other false statements. Also they are honest with you from the beginning in terms of letting you know whether or not your case has enough substance to move forward to a court proceeding and even if its not they will advise you in the consultation what steps you will need to take. They will not waste your or their time. Highly recommend this law firm for divorce and custody battles.

    “I could not have asked for better!”
    Mr. Arnel and his daughter Ms. Lauren Arnel litigated my divorce jurisdiction dispute with complete success. I felt very confident in their advocacy of my case. Mr. Arnel is a gifted attorney; I could not have asked for better. He is highly persuasive, professional, doesn't mince words, yet gracious and gentlemanly at the same time. He inspires confidence, and the outcome proved my confidence in him was well placed.

    “So Attentive and Knowledgeable.”
    I was extremely devastated when I reached out to the law office due to concern over a potential custody battle. I left a message and was contacted the same day and time that I was given. Curt was so attentive and knowledgeable. All of the questions I had were answered. I left the phone call feeling 100 times better than I did when I originally called. Even after asking a bunch of questions knowing that I wouldn't need his services he continued to answer questions with honest answers making it very clear how efficient he was in his field. I am very happy that I found him and honestly hope I won't have to use him in the future. However if the services are needed I would definitely pick him!

    “If you or someone you know needs a family lawyer call Curt Arnel.”
    If I could give 10 stars I would. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position where you need to speak to an attorney to resolve any issues concerning your family, Curt Arnel and his team should be your only call. This is a long post. I called Mr. Arnel's office expecting to speak to a receptionist, I was wrong. Mr. Arnel answered the phone and we had a 45-minute conversation about our issue. He was so generous with his time. He answered every question I had and even brought up a few points I didn't even think of. I was blown away at how casual the conversation was. It was like I was speaking with an old friend. I never felt rushed. He explained to me how he had just resolved a similar matter and explained the whole process including numerous options to resolve the matter. My wife and I took his advice and are so thankful we did. If you or someone you know needs a family lawyer call Curt Arnel. You'll be glad you did. We are.
