I am an experienced litigator, mediator and arbitrator, having tried cases and conducted hundreds of meditations, arbitrations, and similar dispute resolution hearings since the late 1980's, involving both litigated and non-litigated cases.

I was selected as a Special Settlement Conference Judge in the Central and Northern divisions of the San Diego County Superior Court.

I have just commenced my 50th year in the practice of law and have attended over 125 hours of mediation oriented classes, programs, and seminars.

During the mediation process, I employ empathy, patience and productive communication to examine the limits of polarized positions in order to facilitate dialogue and reach agreement. I work hard to create an atmosphere of respect, integrity, and trust.

I provide a safe and secure forum for adversaries to brainstorm, air concerns, and discover creative paths to resolutions leading toward a mutually agreeable conclusion without the time expenditure, risk, and expense of the litigation process. I lead parties to focus on their interests, while minimizing the personality factors that contribute to discord.

My role as a mediator is to provide a venue for participants to articulate their perspective in a structured setting in order to discern the interests that lie beneath the issues dividing the parties, culminating in resolution.

To achieve an agreed result, I incorporate techniques from the writings of learned educators, psychologists, mediators, philosophers, and experienced legal scholars.

I weave into my sessions my experience as president and board member of several organizations, lecturer and legal practitioner. I heavily rely on skills such as translating, neutral language utilization, paraphrasing, acknowledgment, summarization and reliance on open-ended questions.

I never try to force a settlement, but encourage the participants to focus on resolution through thoughtful respectful discourse and reality analysis. Integrity, trust, transparency, and neutrality are the keystones to an effective mediation.
