Results Oriented Mediation
Settling your lawsuit is a top priority. Few people want to take their case to trial. And most shouldn’t have to. My career has been spent assessing and resolving complex, emotionally charged lawsuits. Many of these cases involve claims of police misconduct (excessive force, unlawful arrest, etc.), wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and severe emotional trauma—serious issues that deserve serious consideration and analysis. As a full-time mediator, I give each case every ounce of time, effort and attention you would expect. And then some. From day one, until it’s done. You deserve nothing less for allowing me the opportunity to serve you. Read on to learn what working together looks like.
(See What Other Have To Say Here)
"The entire legal profession – lawyers, judges, law professors – 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
Mediation is the evolution of litigation.
We Define the Problem.
Mediation allows us to become a problem-solving team, everybody working towards the same goal: a settlement that will allow the parties to move forward with their lives. My process facilitates conversations the parties are finding difficult to have directly, in order to identify and overcome barriers to settlement.
We Connect the Dots.
I bring decades of experience in a variety of legal issues to every mediation. (See more on my About page.) This experience provides helpful perspective and facilitates meaningful communication and strategic negotiation. Which in turn propels the conversation forward. We explore the details of your case in order to “connect the dots” and assess potential outcomes.
We Find a Solution.
By helping parties communicate effectively about their issues, disputes can be resolved quickly and to the mutual satisfaction of those involved. Unlike a trial or arbitration, mediation does not produce “losers”. Instead, mediated agreements often favor all parties—the proverbial “win-win”.
With the Flexibility You Want.
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 solution possible
