MEDIATION and guardian ad litem

---

Not every dispute needs to go to trial. Sometimes the smartest, fastest, and least painful path forward is sitting down with a neutral third party and working it out together.

That's mediation. And when it works, it saves you time, money, and the emotional toll of a prolonged court battle.

Litigation is exhausting. It's expensive. It drags on for months—sometimes years. And in family law cases especially, it can leave lasting scars on relationships that need to continue, like co-parenting after a divorce.

Mediation gives you control. Instead of a judge deciding your fate, you and the other party work together to craft a solution that works for both of you. It's faster. It's private. And it often leads to better outcomes because you're both invested in the agreement.

I'm certified in both General Civil and Domestic Mediation. But more importantly, I've spent over 30 years as a trial attorney. I know what happens when cases go to court. I know the costs—financial and emotional. And I know how to help parties find common ground before it gets to that point.

My experience in family law and domestic violence cases gives me unique insight into the dynamics at play in difficult mediations. I understand the power imbalances, the emotions, and the stakes. I create a space where both parties can be heard and where real solutions can emerge.

When Mediation Makes Sense:

• Divorce and property division

• Child custody and parenting plans

• Modifications to existing agreements

• Business disputes

• Contract disagreements

Mediation isn't giving up. It's choosing a smarter path.
