History:

I focus on Civil/Commercial and Family Law Mediation, although I litigate in both fields should that be necessary. My primary goal is to help clients avoid the emotional and financial trauma that usually accompanies Commercial and Family Law litigation. 

Mediation: Personal Commitment

Litigation can be overwhelming and stressful, both in the Civil/Commercial Law and Family Law fields. I am here to listen and to support you with understanding and respect. My aim is to help you solve legal issues with a minimum of emotional and financial distress.
