Year in Review of 2016

PhloxADR has seen substantial growth in 2016 in mediation and arbitration and we wish to thank everyone who trusted us with their dispute. It’s not easy for some people to seek outside help during a dispute as no one wants their private personal issues aired in public.  Our privacy and confidentiality policy have been key to people seeking alternative dispute resolution services. The care and personal touch we try to extend to every client helps people understand, Every Client Matters.

Areas of Coverage

As most of our services have been performed in Oklahoma but we have also seen an expansion in our Texas, Kansas and Missouri. Oklahoma held 85% of our services, while Texas held 10%, Kansas held 7% and Missouri 3%.

We did have an uptake in our online which increased 20%. We contribute this to our expansion of online chat and video conferencing which has made mediations and arbitrations with parties that are out of state much easier. We also handled 10 out of country cases which were quite interesting and very educational when dealing with foreign counsel.

We wish to thank everyone who trusted us with their dispute.
