Attorney & Mediator · Attorney

Going through a divorce can cause many emotions to surface: anger, hurt, fear, loss and confusion. Searching for the best way to defend your legal rights as well as manage your costs can be emotionally draining. At Settlement Works, our commitment is to assist the resolution of everything from simple disagreements to complex, emotionally charged, high asset disputes. I have been practicing law in California since 1975. My primary focus has always been Family Law, but I’ve also spent considerable time with civil litigation matters. Although I’ve always had a settlement approach to the practice of law, I began actively mediating in 1999. I have been on the Los Angeles Superior Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Panel since 2000.

How we collaborate

I look at mediation as an opportunity to engage in an informative exchange of ideas and opinions, while helping litigants resolve their differences with an economically and emotionally beneficial outcome. While successful mediation often entails several styles of dispute resolution, the most important element is safety.
