SUCCESSFUL DISPUTE RESOLUTION THROUGH MEDIATION AND COLLABORATIVE LAW
Finding creative solutions that work for everyone—whether divorcing, dissolving a business or resolving a dispute—is both tremendously challenging and truly satisfying. After a career spent litigating conflicts through the judicial system, it is a pleasure for me to offer alternatives that my clients find consistent with their personal values. Together we work to maintain a focus on what matters most: a resolution that leaves all parties with their shared goals achieved and their individual dignity intact. By facilitating productive discussion, I help people navigate the difficulties of the conflict without enduring the misery of combat.
The philosophy and techniques of mediation and collaborative law are often more effective and always far less stressful than the bureaucracy and battles that take place in court. Securing a future on your own terms can make your divorce (or commercial dispute) feel like the first chapter of a satisfying story, not a tale of regret and remorse. This is “real” resolution.
This website can help you understand why the process works, how it works, and what to expect:
- The comparison: mediation, collaborative law and litigation
- The mediator’s role
- The collaborative lawyer’s role
- The process (what to expect from my services)
