Mediators, Arbitrators & Private Judges. Get your "day in court" now, with great legal minds who give your case the undivided attention it deserves.
Do you believe in the maxim, "work smarter, not harder?" When it comes to getting people through their difficult legal issues, we sure do. Instead of navigating through the complicated, "slow-as-molasses" court system, what if you could skip to the front of the line and get your problems solved?
What if your unique case were given the customized handling and laser-beam attention it deserves? What if you could have your sensitive legal issues "heard" in a private environment, instead of in a crowded, public arena?
What if you could get the undivided attention of not one, but two of the region's top legal decision-makers working as your solution team to get your case resolved at warp speed?
Smart Court provides just that: You choose the decision makers - instead of being randomly assigned a government judge who, in many cases, does not have the time nor experience required for your unique case.
Getting Your Day in Court
It's tough to get your true "day in court" in today's legal system. The old system assigns you a government judge, who carries a huge case load and doesn't have the luxury of time to help. Many people with business or family law cases are shocked when they discover that our courts are reactive instead of proactive - meaning the court does nothing to push your case along unless you make it happen. This results in a long, drawn out process, costing you significant time and money to get to the end. If you're in the California court system, take a number and have a seat. Here's the reality:
As of April 2014, Statewide:
51 courthouses have been closed.
205 courtrooms closed.
30 courts have reduced their public service hours.
37 courts have reduced self-help family law services.
Filing fees since 2008 have doubled.
Some courts have more than 5,000 filings per judge.
Overall, court staff have been significantly reduced.
With all these reductions, who gets hit the hardest? It's YOU. Families, businesses and the attorneys who represent them. Under the broken system, your access to justice is fading.
What does the Better Justice Experience look like?
- A decision-making team who intentionally limits the number of cases they handle at any one time.
- Thoughtful solutions delivered in a calm, private setting.
- You get your case done in weeks or a few months, instead of years.
When you are ready to get past your legal struggles and on with your life, Smart Court is here, ready to help. Whether through mediation (structured settlement negotiations facilitated by masters of dispute resolution) or private judging/arbitration (experienced judging), we'll help you craft the result that is right for you and the other party.
You control the outcome in a confidential process, where the decision is yours. Fast, simple, solved. Now that's smart.
We believe people struggling with conflict deserve effective and immediate ways to move through it and move on. Lawsuits and disputes need judges and mediators who have time to understand the problems faces by everyone involved. People in conflict deserve judges and mediators who are immediately accessible, and able to deal with the problem honestly and offer workable solutions.
