About

Jewish Dispute Solutions is the outgrowth of several years’ involvement with ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) in the Jewish community.

We have seen where the community is looking for guidance and direction; we have looked at where the community is satisfied, and where there are potential improvements to be made.

Whatever dispute you may be concerned about right now, we hope that we can help you.
