| Mediation Approach: |
I use my background and experience, to assist the parties in realizing the value of mediated solution. I begin with a facilitative approach and will provide an evaluation only after I am familiar with the case and, if I believe it would be helpful. |
| Arbitration Approach: |
Arbitration is an abreviated court trial where the parties receive \"their day in court\" and obtain a decision from a neutral third party. I provide a considered decision based on the law and the facts presented promptly after the conslucion of the hearing and try to make the process fair, efficient and cost effective. |
| Neutral Approach: |
A combination of the mediation and arbitration approaches which takes into consideration my understanding of relevant law and over 35 years trial experience. |
| Other Information: |
I am extremely flexible in my approach to ADR and make every effort to accommodate the needs and desires of the parties. I use my experience and broad litigation background. I have a strong personal commitment to the ADR process. |
