​MEDIATION
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which I act as a neutral third party in facilitating productive discussion to help parties reach their own agreement.
-
You retain control over the outcome.
-
The process is confidential and private.
-
Structured negotiation guided by an experienced former judge.
-
Designed to reduce delay, cost, and emotional strain.
Mediation is particularly effective in family law matters where preserving working relationships and minimizing conflict are important.
​
ARBITRATION
Arbitration is a private adjudicatory process conducted outside of the courtroom in which I act as a neutral third party who makes a binding decision in settling your disputes.
-
Each side presents evidence and testimony.
-
Formal rules may be relaxed by agreement.
-
A binding written decision is issued by me.
-
More efficient and confidential than traditional litigation.
Arbitration offers finality while avoiding the delay and expense of a full court trial.
