| Mediation Style or Approach: |
I tend to favor the facilitative approach but can do evaluative mediation if that is what the parties choose. My goal is to provide assistance to the parties to facilitate their arrival at a collaborative resolution of their dispute. I use generally accepted and as appropriate, uniquely tailored approaches to the parties needs. My preference is to conduct a facilitative mediation giving the parties the opportunity to arrive at a collaborative resolution to their dispute. |

Mediation briefs should be submitted at least three days prior to the mediation and should include a detailed statement of facts, prior settlement negotiations and the procedural status of the case. Mediation information and documents may be sent to the parties prior to the first meeting. Also, I may contact counsel and/or unrepresented parties in advance of the first meeting to ensure preparation for and attendance by all necessary participants at the mediation. |
