Mediation

Over the years, I have found mediation to be a wonderful tool to resolve problems and bring closure. Usually, disputes are between two well-meaning people, and in such cases, mediation can be a great tool in helping craft win/win solutions.

As your attorney, I can work with you in mediation. I am also able to formally or informally mediate disputes between parties.
