Insurance touches every aspect of life. Individual consumers insure their property, lives, and health, any one of which can generate a legal problem beyond their ability to solve effectively.

Litigation is a very expensive and time consuming way of resolving disputes. A lawsuit is emotionally draining on the participants and a distraction from operating a business or otherwise enjoying life. The outcome of litigation is always uncertain and the risks are often great. At Gold and Parado, we believe that it is the best interest of our clients to avoid lawsuits, if at all possible. We are big proponents of all reasonable methods to resolve disputes as early as possible. In appropriate circumstances, we are in favor of a pre-suit settlement meeting or pre-suit mediation. The decision of whether to engage in these pre-suit settlement attempts should be made on a case by case basis. Unfortunately, frivolous claims are made or a party has unrealistic demands, which could make early resolution or a successful pre-suit mediation impossible.
Although we are not convinced that it is a better alternative to litigation, we have successfully participated in numerous arbitrations around the country. As the practice of law continues to evolve, so does the firm of Gold & Parado. We have knowledge and experience representing clients outside of traditional litigation in a courtroom, including mediations and arbitrations. We have achieved awards in arbitration matters ranging from recovering sales commissions against a small to medium sized international furniture manufacturer, to recovering multi-million dollars in damages for breach of contract and fraud against a telecommunications giant.
