My job is to help people resolve conflicts. I am a private, confidential Mediator. I specialize in family and elder issues. I have been a licensed Attorney for 17 years and a Mediator for 12 years. I have helped hundreds of clients successfully resolve their issues with my mediation process. I believe mediation truly is the Better Solution. I have focused exclusively on mediation since I opened Better Solutions Mediation in 2004. I have over 650 hours of mediation and conflict resolution training. Most attorneys focus on litigating, and only mediate "on the side." When you are choosing your mediator, it is very important to find a mediator with excellent mediation skills. Going to court does not make an attorney a mediator, it makes them an advocate in a "win-lose" adversarial system. A Mediator uses their brain differently. Mediation skills must be studied and practiced constantly in order to be effective.DON'T LITIGATE, MEDIATE.With Mediation you: * Pay Less * Maintain Control * Promote Respect and Consideration * Focus on the Future * Reach Mutual, Lasting AgreementsIf 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. Parents who mediate avoid ongoing court battles, which not only benefits their children, it saves everyone from the stress and high-cost of returning to court every time an issue arises.Visit my website to hear what my clients have said about my mediation process.
