Merit, Education, Experience & Training
The RIGHT Way to Choose a Mediator

I am driven by MERIT, EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE & TRAINING.
- My ADR practice is driven by a deep commitment to fair process, empowering parties, fostering understanding & achieving results by perseverance.
I value impartiality, integrity, and professionalism above financial gain.
- I operate on training, intense experience, expertise, and empathy.
- My approach to dispute resolution is to continue to work on a case until the parties are satisfied that every avenue of resolution has been explored.
- I resolve cases where others have given up., or don’t wish to push too hard and “offend” someone and possibly lose future work. I push to resolve cases and help parties settle.
Why Choose Me?
Over 30 years of experience resolving cases in litigation, specialized industry knowledge, a high success rate, innovative approaches to problem-solving, and a commitment to client education.
Experience and track record handling numerous different types of cases.
Perseverance and determination to settle your case- I do not give up easily. Others do.
Client-centric approach where self-determination is king.

Why Pay More?
Some attorneys feel that if they spend a lot of money hiring a mediator from one of those prestigious (and expensive) mediation firms, the outcome will be better than with an independent mediator like me.
Just last week, as I write this, I resolved (settled) two cases that mediators from the expensive panel firms could NOT settle. And I did it at a fraction of what they paid the prestigious panel mediators.
Look, folks, paying more isn’t always a guarantee of a successful outcome. Reality: More is NOT better, unless they charge you only if they settle your case, which, of course, they will never do. Stop thinking more is better. It isn’t.
