Sandra Tolliver

With nearly four decades of legal experience, I bring a client-centered approach to mediation that prioritizes human connection over rigid legal frameworks. As a former litigator in civil and family law, I understand that legal disputes are often deeply personal and emotionally complex. My mediation model—”Human First, Law Second”—focuses on empowering participants by ensuring their voices are heard, not just their attorneys’. I gather confidential insights from individuals before the mediation session to identify emotional roadblocks and create a space where meaningful resolution can occur. This approach fosters self-awareness and confidence, leading to lasting, mutually beneficial agreements. A Tulsa native, I originally pursued psychology before earning my law degree and practicing in Oklahoma since 1985. My career has spanned civil rights cases, business law, and family law, always with a dedication to diversity and client advocacy. In recent years, I have embraced a new way of practicing law—working remotely, leveraging technology, and focusing on mediation. I am also deeply engaged in my community, supporting nonprofits that empower women, promote technology, and advocate for fathers. My goal is to improve the mediation process by blending legal expertise with a deep understanding of human dynamics, ensuring that each participant feels respected and heard.
