Dispute Resolution Outside of Court

As a Washington real estate lawyer with more than 10 years of experience, Mr. Rockne works hard to help clients find not only effective but cost-effective options to resolving their real estate disputes. In some cases, informal negotiation, mediation, or arbitration can yield satisfactory results in less time and for less cost than taking a real estate dispute to court. He regularly participates in mediation with clients and is himself an arbitrator in King County and Snohomish County.
