Administrative Remedies

Administrative remedies refer to the solutions or actions that individuals can pursue through government agencies to address grievances or disputes, rather than going directly to court. This may involve filing a complaint with an agency or seeking a hearing to resolve issues related to regulations, benefits, or permits. The goal is to resolve problems within the administrative framework, often leading to faster and more efficient outcomes. Examples include appealing a denied claim with a social services agency or contesting a zoning decision with a local planning board.
