Arbitration / Mediation / Dispute Resolution

The court process is lengthy, has many delays, requires adherence to technical and procedural rules, is expensive and is impersonal and out of your control – you do not have say in the outcome, the judge does not know you or your family, s/he simply makes a ruling on what they have heard as evidence.

​

With the Appropriate Dispute Resolution services I provide, each party is an active participant through the process, we listen to your goals, needs, wants, interests and evidence; we work together to craft a solution that works for both sides.  It may not be, and likely will not be the perfect for both sides, but it will be crafted by you, with your input.  The process also can be resolved much quicker and you can move forward with certainty sooner.

​

If the parties cannot reach an agreeable resolution through mediation or Parenting Coordination, then, if you mutually elect me to do so, I can impose a decision as Arbitrator that will be based on our discussions and evidence presented.

​

I am trained, certified and experienced in the following areas and offer these services:

  • Mediation

  • Arbitration

  • Mediation-Arbitration

  • Parenting Coordination

 

Please contact me to discuss how these methods can obtain results for you.
