As a mediator, I have never had any two mediations alike. They are as unique as their advocates, parties, and the issues that bring them. Presented with parties with varying degrees of expectations, commitment, and sometimes hidden issues, I approach mediation with a logical even hand and have never forced or intimidated to produce a settlement. I firmly believe that mediation is a party-driven process and the results are theirs to own. I have a unique ability to weed through personalities and get to the heart of the issue quickly, exploring at times creative "out of the box" ideas for resolution. I expect all parties to have knowledge of the facts, come prepared to support their facts and be able to present their position in a professional and courteous manner. Whether or not parties choose to be flexible in those positions depends heavily on their current status, their advocates, and their desire to move forward. I tend to rely heavily on the contract between the parties and frequently point out how respective positions might be heard or interpreted in other judicial venues.
