Neutral ProfileVisit https://www.timkendisputeresolution.com/ to learn more about me. I am a mediator with 37+ years of combined legal experience settling cases, including 30 years as a Principal Court Attorney in the NY courts. I am New York State-approved and Florida state-certified as a Circuit Supreme Court Mediator, County Court Mediator, and Family Law Mediator. I do virtual mediations in various areas of legal specialization, such as complex, high-value commercial matters (breach of contract, construction, business divorce (corporate dissolution), intellectual property, real estate and employment), family (dissolution, parenting, child and spousal support), and other civil matters (including personal injury, professional malpractice, and real estate). Success and client satisfaction are paramount. I utilize both facilitative mediation and reality testing techniques, offering advanced negotiation strategies, ethical considerations, and the practical application of dispute resolution theory. I am committed to fostering equitable solutions through a comprehensive understanding of mediation principles. My mission is to provide practical, ethical, and client-focused dispute resolution services, supported by my advanced training in civil and family dispute resolution and international commercial arbitration.
