Divorce, business matters, etc., if you need a mediator or arbitrator in Texas, call us. My firm, Mediators & Arbitrators of America is unique in that we offer co-mediation, co-arbitration and gender balanced dispute resolution services. I am an Advanced Attorney-Mediator/Arbitrator in Texas and an Attorney admitted in California with over thirty years of experience, including a strong business background. I belong to the Family and Business Law Sections of the Bar. My legal background includes working at two national law firms and teaching Law. For fifteen years, I operated, managed, secured funding for and repositioned companies, as well as leading turnaround initiatives and developing brands. I have successfully worked with and for major venture capital investors in a wide variety of sectors. I have done everything from being an active private investor working with company management teams, to translating and negotiating for the SATRA Group in Russia. I proactively work with in-house general counsels to avoid potential pitfalls in highly litigious corporate climates. I have served on the Boards of private and non-profit companies. I speak frequently on mediation topics. Our firm offers customized, in-house training to improve mediation and communication skills for HR departments. We specialize in complex, multi-party commercial disputes, family/divorce settlements and cost effective resolution of high-stakes litigation. We also teach basic and advanced mediation/arbitration and communication classes.
