I'm fortunate to have begun mediating and arbitrating at a very young age.
More than 25 years ago, I started with a very unusual employment case in Ketchikan, Alaska
by lucky accident. Since then, I've mediated or arbitrated nearly
4000 cases. I do it full time.
I mediate virtually every possible kind of civil case, from business commercial, personal
injury, professional negligence, environmental, insurance coverage, real estate, employment,
intellectual property, estate law and family law.
It's hard for me to really think about a categorical kind of mediation that I haven't done.
Mediation is almost always better for the parties than trial.
It has the potential and reality of bringing a dispute to an end within the control of
the party in a private setting where they make self-determined decisions with the assistance
of a neutral, such as me. Trial, on the other hand, presents great delay,
great expense and great uncertainty in terms of the outcome.
