Help me try to keep your case as simple as possible. Tell me the story in a way that I can understand it, and most importantly, don’t try to obscure the weaknesses in your case. Bring them out and address them for me, because I’m going to wind up finding them, and if I have to find them myself, I’m going to be very frustrated with you as a party. My goal as an arbitrator is to try to get it right and try to be objective and fair to both sides.

New York, NY business attorney Richard S. Green shares his advice to parties coming before him in ADR. He emphasizes the importance of clarity and honesty in presenting a case. He advises parties to explain their story in a straightforward manner, ensuring it is easy to understand. He stresses that any weaknesses in the case should be openly acknowledged and addressed, rather than hidden, as he will inevitably identify them himself. Failing to do so, he notes, can lead to frustration. His overarching goal as an arbitrator is to evaluate each matter accurately, maintaining objectivity and fairness for all parties involved.
