MEDIATION EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

Conducted hundreds of mediations throughout Central Florida. Subject matter includes commercial transactions, employment, contracts, partnership and business disputes, banks and borrowers, construction, real estate, intellectual property, supplier contracts, family, personal injury, probate, condominium, securities, franchise disputes and product liability.

INNOVATIVE :

My purpose is to foster a creative and thought provoking forum which facilitates a financially expedient, fair and rational resolution of your dispute. As I tell my students at Crummer Graduate School, this is not the pursuit of the validation of one’s positions, but rather achieving an agreement based on a mutual understanding of each party’s interests and a proper allocation of those interests amongst the participants.

PERSISTENT :

I will not shy from asking probative questions or offering up creative solutions. I simply don’t give up. This approcah was forged over 30 year legal career enhanced by 15 years as a senior executive with a well known public company. The combination of careers provides this mediator a rare perspective - the perspective of a party to a dispute as well as the perspective of their attorney. I understand from first hand experience the mind set of a litigant and the enormous financial and emotional burden litigation imposes. I’ve had “skin in the game”
