    After having practiced as an attorney for many years, I realized that the justice system could not provide meaningful solutions for many of my clients. In order to better serve those clients, I pivoted my career to mediation.I now work with my clients, navigating disputes in real estate, probate, business, workplace, and divorce, helping individuals, businesses, families, couples, and neighbors come to equitable and reasonable resolutions and get on with their lives. I have mediated more than 2,000 such situations.As a Law Professor, I have taught negotiation and mediation and therefore bring an academic perspective as well as a practical point of view to resolving a wide variety of disputes.Mediation is a practical, relatively informal process that takes place outside of the legal arena; is private, confidential, and cooperative in nature; and empowers parties to retain control of decisions that have significant ramifications in their lives. The advantages of mediation are abundant and include reduced cost, increased efficiency, flexibility, and less mental anguish and most important, better outcomes.Knowing the tremendous benefits of mediation, I also provide training to others. I’ve mentored over 1,000 attorneys, judges, business professionals, HR specialists, and others who need to resolve conflict. I provide them the tools to understand the origins of conflict and how to navigate challenging situations. I lead these training sessions with candor, humor, and a straightforward, knowledgeable approach. It gives me great satisfaction to be able to share these skills with others so that mediation becomes the primary approach to problem solving.
