The Process

A structured, three-phase approach that keeps parties moving toward resolution with clear steps and realistic timelines.

01

Setup & Preparation

Intake, administrative order, scheduling, and pre-mediation calls to ensure everyone is prepared and aligned on the process.

02

Mediation Session

Joint session if useful, followed by focused caucuses with structured negotiation and reality-testing of positions, costs, and timelines.

03

Resolution & Follow-Up

Settlement memo drafted while parties are present, or defined next-step plan with clear deadlines and accountabilities.

What Sets This Practice Apart

🎯 Neutral + Practical

I listen first, then respectfully pressure-test positions to help parties see the full picture and make informed decisions.

Maintains Momentum

Clear steps, defined timeboxes, and structured progression keep parties moving forward rather than spinning in circles.

📊 Reality-Based

We quantify actual risk—fees, timelines, proof problems, and procedural hurdles—not just best-case scenarios.

✍️ Draft-Ready

Settlement terms get written while everyone's present and motivated, avoiding post-mediation friction and delays.
