While many attorneys are introduced to the concept of mediation in law school, few receive rigorous training in how mediation works or how to best represent clients during mediation. Lawyers who offer mediation have taken the initiative to learn about mediation during their professional careers. Attorney David Gearing has taken that initiative and has nearly 40 years of experience practicing family law. David’s commitment to his clients’ best interests has provided him with a deep understanding of the benefits of mediation and its effect on family law cases.
