Results Oriented Mediation
Settling your lawsuit is my top priority
Few people want to take their case to trial, and most shouldnât have to.
Thatâs why Iâve dedicated my career to resolving complex, emotionally-charged lawsuits. As a full-time mediator, I give each case every ounce of time, effort and attention it deserves. From day one, Iâm committed to getting it done.
MEDIATION CAN BE THE EVOLUTION OF LITIGATION
“The entire legal profession â lawyers, judges, law professors â has become so mesmerized with the stimulation of the courtroom that we tend to forget that we ought to be healers of conflicts. For many claims, trials by adversarial contests must in time go the way of the ancient trial by battle and blood. Our system is too costly, too painful, too destructive, and too inefficient for a truly civilized people.”
~ Chief Justice Warren E. Burger

Here’s how we work together
Define the Problem
Mediation allows us to become a problem-solving team with everyone working toward the same goal: a settlement that will allow the parties to move forward with their lives. My role is to facilitate conversations the parties are finding difficult to have directly to identify and overcome barriers to settlement.
Connect The Dots
We explore the details of your case to make sense of all the pieces and assess potential outcomes. I bring decades of experience in a variety of legal issues to every mediation. This means Iâm equipped to provide valuable perspective and guide meaningful communication and strategic negotiation to propel the conversation forward.
Find A Solution
By helping parties communicate effectively about their issues, disputes can be resolved more quickly and to the mutual satisfaction of those involved. Unlike a trial or arbitration, mediation does not produce âlosersâ. Instead, mediated agreements often favor all partiesâthe proverbial âwin-winâ.
Offer You Flexibility
As an independent mediator, I can meet the particular circumstances and needs of your situation, whether that be timing, cost, location or other variables, and tailor the process to help reach the best possible solution.
