Pre-Mediation Process

Before the mediation begins, I will work with the parties to learn about the matter. I invite the parties to send me briefs and supporting evidence, as well as to share the briefs with each other, as appropriate. I like to learn as much as I can about your case before the mediation begins so that we can hit the ground running and key in on the issues that will have the greatest impact on resolution.

Mediation

At the mediation, it is critical that all decision makers be present. This includes all named parties, counsel, insurance carriers, company representatives, and any other participants who are needed to settle the case.

Every situation is unique, with specific facts and circumstances, so we maintain a flexible approach. With my assistance, the parties are empowered to determine the path.

Your Success is Our Success

I will continue to work with you until the case either resolves or the parties decide that there is no potential for success. That means that I will stay involved with you until the end of the case, be that days, weeks, or months. Sometimes, cases resolve shortly following the mediation session through follow-up negotiation or the acceptance of a mediator’s proposal. Some cases resolve through continuing efforts during trial. Whatever path your case takes, we are here to help.
