Neutral Case Evaluation

Neutral Case Evaluation is an Alternative Dispute Approach in which a neutral evaluator, often times an experienced Family Law Attorney, examines each party’s evidence and listens to both parties’ positions. The timing of the neutral case evaluation depends on the specific case needs. Usually, both parties are present. The evaluator gives an opinion regarding the legal and factual merits of each side’s case and the probable outcome if the case were to go to trial. The neutral case evaluation can help remove the emotional component from the case analysis.
