MEDIATION:
I am now limiting my practice to mediations where both parties are represented by counsel.
I have been an accredited family law mediator for forty years and I know that this work provides real value to litigating parties. Alternative dispute resolution is also encouraged by the court system which is overloaded and expensive.
Mediation is time-efficient and cost-effective and entirely private.
Where mediation is the choice of both parties, the settlement rate is extremely high – approximately 85%.
Where mediation is pursuant to a Notice to Mediate, the settlement rate is slightly lower, but still the case is likely to settle in mediation.
I care deeply about my mediation clients and always do everything in my power to make sure we have “left no stone unturned” in the search for a settlement.
