How we collaborate

I believe that pre-mediation communications are important to determine and agree upon the best approach to increase the likelihood of a successful process. As a mediator, I play an active role in the process beyond the facilitation of communication between disputing parties. Throughout the mediation, I listen and strive understand each parties’ perspective and objectives. I usually question each party and/or their counsel, reality test, help parties analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their cases, and offer ideas for resolution. My expectation is for the parties to participate with a good faith, sincere and serious intention to resolve the dispute.
