Advanced Information
Practice Description | I have mediated for over twenty-three years, over two thousand hours of at-the-table experience. I work with and mediate for businesses, courts, school districts, the USPS, cities and other government units as well as private citizens. I continue to build my skills by taking training, already well over two hundred hours, and I have been lead or support trainer in providing hundreds of hours of training. As a trainer I train law students in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) for Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University and Capital University Law School, and for court staff being trained in basic mediation by the Supreme Court of Ohio. I also judge negotiation skills contests for law students at Moritz. My financial dispute experience is extensive. I’ve handled disputes involving the following: investments, contracts, property evaluation, landlord/tenant, real estate broker/agent, real estate agent/client, land use, historical preservation, commercial and economic development, foreclosures, credit issues, loan agreements. I helped members of a family business resolve a 900K concern; my largest case was 15 million. Another area of specialization is personnel disputes, including lack of promotion, age, sex, and race discrimination, grievances and disciplinary actions. I can help employers and employees avoid litigation by acting as a neutral third party to help both sides find a mutually acceptable resolution. Organizations served as a mediator include United States Postal Service, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Real Estate Division of the Department of Development, Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Bureau of Workers Compensation, Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, Delaware County Municipal Court, Franklin County Municipal Court, Franklin County Auditor. In addition, I mediate parenting agreements for divorcing or separating parents, often in cooperation with their attorneys and a Guardian ad Litem. I am a facilitative mediator. I don’t try to steer the conversation or process in any direction, nor do I offer opinions on who might be right or what the best choices might be. Rather, I facilitate a mutual search for the best available answer that both sides can agree on. I am the optimist in the room. I know that the mediation process can work for the parties in a dispute if they give it a chance, even if they do so reluctantly. I take the role of a mediator very seriously. I am honored that people will allow me to offer them a structure, a process, for resolving a dispute that may be quite emotional, may involve significant financial and personal consequences. I defend that process by being neutral, unbiased, and facilitative.
