Approach
How we collaborate
As a mediator, my job is to coach the parties and their counsel along the road of solving their own problem. I respect the role of counsel, and respect the right of parties to make their own decision. I work hard to gain the trust of the decision makers and to help them thoughtfully evaluate the practical realities of the their situation. I always keep firmly in mind that the parties are in the drivers seat, with the power to make their own decisions. But, I also bear in mind that my role is to help the parties explore all the relevant issues, especially the issues they want to gloss over.
