Mediated Solutions for Complex Problems

After  25  years  of  litigating  disputes  large  and  small  in  courts  from  coast  to  coast,  there’s  not  much  I  haven’t  seen  as  a  lawyer.  I've handled billion-dollar suits with some of the biggest companies in the world, the inevitable conflicts that face small businesses and everything in between. I’ve been lucky enough to have a career where the only constant has been change. My peers recognize my work, as they've selected me for membership in the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals and routinely include me for recognition in Best Lawyers of America, Florida Trend’s Legal Elite, and Super Lawyers. You  can  get  more  information about me (including a C.V.) at this link or through my  LinkedIn  profile below,  but  no  matter  what  your  case  involves,  I'll bet I’ve  resolved  one  like  it  before  -  and  chances  are  good  I  can  help  with  yours  too.

Tough  cases  don’t  settle  themselves.  Progress  requires  effort,  solutions  demand  dedication.  I  started  mediating  because  I  believe every  matter  deserves  a  mediator  who works hard to help the parties find their solution.  There’s  no  substitute  for  preparation - nothing can replace putting in  the time to understand the little details that form the “big  picture.”  Every mediator wants to settle cases, but mediators that roll up their sleeves and prepare actually get deals done.     

Michael  Corleone was  wrong - every  conflict  is  personal  to  the  people  involved.   Usually the  parties’ backstory is  the  foundation  of  the  dispute  -  just  behind  the  positions and  the  posturing that  feed  the  conflict lie the interests that define  the  boundaries  of  possible  solutions.  The  answer  is  there,  but you have to know where to look. Accounting for the emotions and asking “why” opens the  door to  solutions to the parties’ problems.
