PHILOSOPHY

There are only two ways to resolve a lawsuit: trial or settlement. Sometimes it’s win or lose. Sometimes both sides lose. But with mediation, it’s not about declaring victory or succumbing to defeat.

It’s about finding a resolution that satisfies both sides, and it’s my job to get you there.

Why should you hire me to be your mediator? Because I’m not a number carrier who takes the lazy route, simply passing offers back and forth between two parties. I’m not an echo chamber, nodding along and agreeing with both sides disingenuously. And I’m not a bully, rudely and aggressively intimidating your clients into settling. To your client, this is the only – and therefore the most important – case in the world, and I treat it with the level of respect that deserves. I’m here to get your case settled.

I’ll do so by clearly and thoroughly discussing the case’s facts and possibilities with you and your client. I’ll help identify the strengths and weaknesses in each side’s position and what could happen at trial if offers and demands are rejected. And I’ll shoot straight, helping you make common sense decisions to reach a reasonable resolution. So we can settle your client’s case and they can move on with their lives.
