Although attorneys are trained in advocacy, there are never guarantees in the outcome, and the control over the case in litigation is lost.  However, the consented (mediated agreements) generally produce results and are more sustainable than the litigated adjudications, even when one has the attorneys.  These are the facts of litigation, regardless of whom you ask! 

The difference between a good attorney and the experienced is one who ascertains the available option for his clients, whether it is within the realm of collaborative process, litigating in court, arbitration, and/or dispute resolution through mediation.  Attorneys who enjoy litigation enjoy the thrill of their theatrical performance in the court, achieving victory in the court, which is decided by a stranger (the judge) or strangers (the jury).   Decisions made by the stranger(s) create uncertainty and are disdained by most clients.  Not only that, litigation is expensive and takes years to resolve, including the appeal process, but litigators find themselves back in court for tangent matters remaining unresolved.   Besieged with their counsel as clients are unable to obtain a new counsel who would not request astronomical fee to review the file and the court records again, many frustrated clients wish if they had not prosecuted or defended the matter at all. Therefore, the option available to clients may not be the expensive route of litigation; instead, dispute resolution can be achieved through mediation, arbitration, or a collaborative process.  The experienced attorney’s focus is not on the value of each file but on the possible results with the least expensive means.
