* Two Roads is based on the philosophy that there is more than the one path for parties to resolve their disputes. Mediation, the cooperative and collaborative method of dispute resolution, is another very successful option for parties. Mediation allows each side to have some control over the results and potentially reach a faster and more amicable resolution than traditional litigation. Mediation makes all the difference!
