Outstanding Results In Arbitration And Mediation
At Pierce & O’Neill, LLP, our lawyers have achieved outstanding results for our clients at both the trial and appellate levels. Having gained extensive insight over our careers, we also recognize that not every dispute can be or should be resolved in the courtroom. Arbitration and mediation are frequently attractive alternatives, as these methods of dispute resolution are more flexible than litigation. In addition, they can save costs and promote certainty. In all matters, our attorneys assess the viability of mediation or arbitration, and confidently advise our clients.

Serving Individuals To Large Corporations
Our depth and breadth of experience in these fields offers tangible benefits to our clients. We have been retained as counsel to resolve disputes through the arbitration process by a broad array of clients in a variety of industries, including individuals, small to mid-sized corporations, and the country’s largest corporations.
Our experience also goes beyond representing clients in arbitration. Jesse Pierce, one of our firm’s founders, is a commercial arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association, and is regularly selected to serve as a party-appointed arbitrator, as well as appointed as the chairman by the other arbitrators. Jack O’Neill, our other firm’s founder, is also sought out by his peers to preside over mediations.
