Attorney at Law | Mediator | Conflict Coach
Attorney at Law · Attorney
I spent over 20 years in the trenches as a trial attorney, but my passion is more in the areas of special education and disability law. Wanting to help clients in a more sustainable way, I have transitioned into a new type of practice. My goal is to emphasize, collaborate, and advocate for clients to find them resolutions, in special education, discriminatory conflicts, and other areas. My extensive experience as a trial lawyer also makes me uniquely qualified to assist in cases in litigation, in premises, products liability, Labor Law, and toxic torts. I am a mediator and certified conflict management coach, with extensive experience in negotiations. I offer services to anyone looking to mediate a dispute, need a conflict coach, or who may benefit from training in conflict resolution. I offer consulting services to school districts, non-profits, boards, employers, and other organizations looking to proactively learn ways to avoid conflict.

Approach
How we collaborate
The goal is to create sustainable relationships without the need for extensive litigation, in as collaborative a way as possible. That being said, I understand litigation and the factors that will be weighed by parties, insurers, clients, and others, and the cost, time, and risk of continued litigation. I have been told that I am relatable and approachable, which makes me an excellent negotiator and fair mediator.
