Welcome to Innovative ADR

Litigation in the court system is often expensive, time-consuming, inflexible, stressful, and unpredictable. Since conflicts are a regular part of life, you need reliable dispute resolution processes.

Innovative ADR provides professional alternative dispute resolution services that allow businesses and individuals to resolve disputes outside of court. Mediation, arbitration, and other collaborative processes can produce results more efficiently, and with parties’ retaining greater control, than the traditional judicial system can.

At Innovative ADR, we understand your need for closure, certainty, and a future beyond your conflict. And we can help.

“Doug was very helpful in identifying issues we needed to resolve to settle the case. I will definitely be using Doug in future mediations.”

Our Experience

What Our Clients are Saying

“[Doug] has a good perspective on the cases from both sides. My clients seem to relate well to Doug and in most instances we are able to get the case settled.”
Founding PartnerLaw Firm, Atlanta

“Doug, I appreciate the job you did for me on both of my cases you mediated. You did a great job.”
Managing PartnerLaw Firm, Atlanta Metro

“I find Doug Witten to be a fine mediator and a very nice man. He is calm and has a creative approach to moving the mediation along. He is smart, thoughtful and knows the law.”
Founding PartnerLaw Firm, Atlanta

“[Doug,] two things stand out for me. First, you were very patient. Which was important for my clients. They wanted to be heard. And a lot of times what my client has to say may not be relevant to the issue. But it is important to my client to say it. Often mediators are too quick to cut my client off because they do not see it as relevant. Second, you are good at explaining in simple terms to my client the consequences of settling versus not settling. Thanks again for your help. I look forward to seeing you soon.”
