Mediation is the best way to resolve civil and family disputes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Mediation is a confidential, informal process that takes place outside the courthouse. It is a problem solving endeavor that is inexpensive, fair and efficient. The mediator meets with each party and explores creative, flexible and constructive options for resolving any dispute.

Mediation empowers the parties themselves to resolve their dispute.

I am not a mediator who overpowers the will of the litigants. 

The mediation service I render is unique and tailored to fit the needs of the individuals. I do not have a template. Instead I seek to first listen and endeavor to understand the circumstances and particulars of the dispute as it relates to the people involved. I have over 25 years of litigation experience and during those years I have acquired an ability to effectively relate to people as individuals.

Humans are varied in their personal make up as our Creator intended. Thus my approach in dealing with people in finding ways to resolve their dispute is based entirely on my finely honed instinct of not just getting along but relating to each person with patience, respect, sensitivity and unequivocal  validation of their perspective.

Male and female mediators are not statistically equal.

It is no secret that men and women look at life differently and thus they look at conflict differently. My experiences in being an advocate has brought me to the conclusion that men tend to consider conflict in terms of ‘rights' while women generally view conflicts in terms of ‘dynamic relationships'.

Look at the history of human kind to see that men historically and unfortunately settle disagreement by armed aggression while women endeavor to ‘talk' their way to solution. This is perhaps a sweeping statement but I firmly believe that first as a woman and second as a female attorney in a male dominated profession, I have greater capacity to find the middle ground between disputants than the average male mediator. This conclusion comes from living in the real and competitive world we all share and from 3 decades of hands on actual experience as a courtroom advocate. I do not mean to incite a small gender war and please feel free to disagree with me but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Let my experience work for you.

True excellence in any endeavor is seldom the result of an accident. It is created by hard work. Hard work means rolling up my sleeves and investing my abilities and energies into making mediation successful for disputing spouses or disputing civil litigants. I pledge to employ the same ethical and deliberate professionalism that has earned me an AV rating from my peers. I further pledge to deliver a superior mediation service utilizing over 25 years legal experience and life lessons. I welcome the opportunity to acquaint you with the particulars of my service.

Thank you for visiting and let me hear from you.
