Dispute Resolution

Mediation is a method of dispute resolution in which a neutral third party (me) helps to settle a dispute between two or more adverse parties.

Why Mediation?
Litigation is time consuming, more expense and the outcome is unpredictable. Mediation is faster, less expensive and gives the parties control of the outcome.

“John and I worked together years ago when we both were lawyers at AIG. Since that time I have utilized John as a mediator, always with extremely satisfactory outcomes. I already knew from our days of working together that he was smart, resourceful, and strategic. These attributes are only magnified when John is mediating a case. He is always prepared, has the correct demeanor (regardless of the situation), and knows how to get the parties to the right place relative to any dispute. I would encourage anyone looking for a solid, capable mediator to give John a try. You will not be disappointed.”
