Finding Common Ground Mediation & Law Services™

2004 - Current

I am a private, confidential Attorney Mediator specializing in Family Law. I have been an Attorney Mediator for over 15 years with a 99% success rate. I believe mediation truly is the better solution. Unlike other attorneys who mediate on the side while continuing to litigate, I have focused exclusively on mediation since I opened my practice in 2004. If you are looking for a better solution to any legal dispute, please contact my office to see if mediation is right for your situation. BEFORE YOU LITIGATE, MEDIATE. With Mediation you: * Pay Less; * Maintain Control; * Promote Respect and Consideration; * Focus on the Future; * Reach Mutual Agreements. If you have children, Mediation helps you focus on the best interests of your children. I specialize in comprehensive parenting plans to help both parties avoid future conflict.
