Mediation
Over the last 35 years, my professional life has been dedicated to litigation and conflict management. I appreciate the value of both litigation and arbitration in certain cases, but also believe that in appropriate circumstances, mediation is a more efficient, less expensive, and less risky process for the resolution of disputes.
Mediation Philosophy
As a skillful mediator I will not only facilitate communication between disputants, but will also explore with them creative and smart solutions that represent a win-win outcome, which is not often possible in either the courtroom or arbitration tribunal. Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral third party — the mediator — facilitates negotiation between disputing parties to help them reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
Benefits of Mediation
Cost-Effective
Mediation is significantly less expensive than litigation, saving both time and money.
Confidential
All mediation proceedings are confidential, protecting the privacy of all parties.
Faster Resolution
Disputes can often be resolved in a single session rather than months or years of litigation.
Preserves Relationships
Mediation fosters communication and cooperation, helping preserve important relationships.
Party Control
Parties maintain control over the outcome rather than leaving decisions to a judge or jury.
Win-Win Solutions
Creative solutions are possible that courts cannot order, resulting in outcomes that work for everyone.
