Mediator in a wide variety of cases ranging from construction contract disputes, condominium disputes, contract claims, and personal injury cases.
Issues of maintenance, accounting, insurance, and value.
I believe that for any mediation to work, the parties need to have a full and fair opportunity to have their grievances aired and understood. It is the mediator’s role to provide that space and opportunity to the parties and their counsel. In this way, the parties can fully participate and gain control over the dispute. Through the fostering of an open and respectful environment, common ground and common interests can be developed. Through the development of these commonalities, agreement and resolution can be fostered and achieved.
