When choosing a mediator, the options are plentiful and seemingly cut from the same cloth. While many have the necessary legal background, perhaps even similar legal acumen, there’s so much more to the art of mediation than bullet points on a resume.
After nearly 20 years as a litigator, including most recently as a senior attorney at a prominent midtown Atlanta law firm, I left litigation to pursue my passion for mediation.
I knew I wanted to be a mediator in my very first year of private practice when I discovered that I could resolve problems in a respectful and less adversarial way. I spent the duration of my legal career obtaining the experience and education necessary to be a leader in this field.
Uniquely skilled at meeting people where they are, I understand that resolving a dispute often means peeling back the layers of accusations, mistrust, and ill-will to discover the real underlying issues. My natural ability to get to the heart of the matter has resulted in a track record of successful outcomes.
Licensed in three states, offering multiple dispute resolution practice areas, and fluent in Spanish, I can meet both your mediation and arbitration needs.
Nimble, creative, and adaptable, I not only know the people side of this business but excel at using the technology necessary to thrive in today’s world. My mastery of virtual mediation is unequaled, having had to pivot to the online platform during the pandemic.
My experience includes medical malpractice, wrongful death, personal injury, premises liability, auto, and trucking. I am also a family law mediator with a specialization in managing cases involving domestic violence.
