Mediation
Approach:

 		 I begin every mediation in a facilitative style, aiming at getting the parties to communicate about the issues. This is key in disputes involving families. Sometimes I can be evaluative, if that seems appropriate. I am not usually directive.
Other
Information:

 		 My success in resolving disputes is due in part to the level of confidence engendered in both the parties and counsel. I have practiced exclusively in trust and estate litigation for over half my career. I am a good listener and am practical.
