More Information
As a practicing attorney, I provided practical and creative counsel to clients all over the country, and always maintained a calm and easy-going demeanor. I am equally comfortable and effective communicating with litigation counsel, in-house attorneys, company executives, insurance adjusters, and minimum-wage workers. As a mediator, I bring the same qualities to bear that made me such a successful attorney: a deep understanding of both substantive and procedural law, diligent preparation, outside-of-the-box thinking, a deeply-held sense of fairness, strong communication skills, and determination to see a matter through to the end.
