Valerie Sims
I worked with Brenda as a mediator in a construction defect matter and would do so again. Brenda brings a fresh perspective backed by a wealth of experience in the field. Her mediation skills are excellent.
Peter Boyum
Brenda helped me with a stucco remediation. The builder had made repairs to the house under the warranty and failed to notify me of the potential of other problems and further damage as well as building code violations. Brenda was able to secure a nice settlement for us. Nice work!
