Jay mediates a wide variety of cases with varying degrees of complexity including workplace, school, foreclosure, business, consumer/supplier, property, land use, tenant/landlord, personal injury, family, divorce, visitation, custody, organizational, health care, and other disputes. He provides or has provided mediation to such entities as The Ohio State University and the Ohio Department of Education as well as several Common Pleas and Municipal Courts in Ohio. For seventeen years, Jay also served as Mediation Coordinator for Licking County Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations Division.

| Background | Jay has served as a leader for the mediation profession as Vice President, President and Immediate Past President of the Ohio Mediation Association (OMA), a statewide organization of professional mediators. In addition to his other duties as an officer of OMA, Jay has testified before various committees of the Ohio Legislature on mediation related legislation. Before making mediation his profession, Jay practiced law in the Education Section and Claims Section of the office of the Ohio Attorney General from 1988 to 1996. As Assistant Attorney General, he successfully argued a precedent setting case in the United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit and negotiated hundreds of settlements on behalf of his client. Jay believes mediation empowers people to create their own best solutions. Since the parties know their needs better than anyone, they are in the best position to create a solution that is tailor-made to their own unique needs. Mediation not only fosters more satisfying solutions in a very cost effective way; it also promotes a sense of ownership of the solution which, in turn, promotes execution of the commitments agreed to in mediation. |
