I am a Certified Mediator and a Practioner Member of the American Academy of Family Mediators with twenty years experience as a small business and family dispute specialist. I came to specialize in mediation out of my personal sense of frustration with the adversarial system and the results it offers. I have seen all too often the destruction this system wreaks on business and personal relationships, as well as the detrimental economic impact it has on the adversaries.
Mediation offers a civilized alternative.
Mediation creates mutual respect of all parties to a dispute. It is a win-win system that is constructive rather than destructive. It educates the participants in negotiating skill.
