Abordagem & Filosofia de Mediação

My philosophy is that every case is different and as a mediator you have to be able to adapt and adjust how you handle and resolve each case. In every case I want the parties to have the opportunity to be heard and to voice their concerns. I want them to know that I have truly heard and understand what they are saying and how they feel. Only after this process can I address the issues in a truly meaningful way and successfully resolve the issues and ultimately the dispute with a mutual agreement. I use facilitative and evaluative techniques together to achieve the best success. I make sure the parties have ample time to address all of the issues and also to digest their agreement and then help them to implement that resolution.

Outras informações

I truly love to Mediate and Consult with people to help them reach an amicable resolution to resolve their dispute.  Mediation is by far the most satisfying  alternative to litigation in any area of conflict. No one want to spend a lot more money, time, energy and emotional strife to litigate their dispute in open court and end up with a result they cannot predict or have any input into the ultimate decision by a judge or jury.

I will help you resolve your dispute with less money, time and emotion while allowing you the most input into the final resolution  that is a mutual agreement between the parties after all of the issues have been successfully resolved.
