| Mediation Approach: |
I generally tailor my approach to the parties and the dispute. Conflicts arising in an ongoing relations (Employment, Family, Neighbor) are usually better served with a facilitative approach. Business disputes are frequently well suited to a more directive style. |
| Arbitration Approach: |
Again, I generally tailor the approach to the parties. The parties should be given every opportunity to present relevant evidence and to fully examine witnesses. Decisions must be well reasoned and comprehensive, leaving the parties with no doubt as to the rationale behind the outcome. |
