        Arbitration Approach:
    

    

        
My overall approach is to first allow the litigants to be heard.  I try to understand all sides thoroughly.  I do not give my opinion on value.  I work with the parties to try and reach a mutually agreeable result.  I try to share the pro's and con's to all sides of not settling and discuss the emotional toll that trials take on the parties.
