Welcome to my website. This site’s primary purpose is to inform you of my professional services as a mediator, arbitrator, hearing officer, or special master in the areas known as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), under my trade name, The Apodaca Law Firm. My principal office is located in the Austin, Texas area, serving not only central Texas but the entire state. Presently, I offer ADR services (mediation and arbitration) mostly in New Mexico and Texas but am available for such services elsewhere. For information on my services as mediator or arbitrator and my fee schedule for those services, please click here ADR SERVICES or on the button on the left.
