I have practiced law in Atlanta since my 1996 graduation from Fordham University School of Law in Manhattan. I have worked at different firms in the Atlanta area, from an insurance-defense boutique to a 350-attorney international law firm. I have achieved many successful results as a civil litigator, having won jury trials and bench trials, motions for summary judgment, and in the Georgia Court of Appeals.

Since becoming a mediator, I have mediated well over 200 cases, in both the civil and domestic fields. On the civil side, I have mediated cases large and small, including commercial disputes, personal injury claims, eminent domain cases and wrongful death cases. In the domestic arena, I have handled everything from the paternity legitimation cases to complete divorces. I have had to deal with pro se litigants and parties represented by some of Atlanta?s finest firms. I have seen people argue as fiercely about $100 as they do about $100,000.

I understand the need for the adversarial legal system. Sometimes a party must fight tooth and nail to protect their rights. I am not a mediator who believes that every case can and should be mediated, nor do I prolong the proceedings when the parties aren?t in the same ?zip code.? But many cases could be better resolved by communication, cooperation, and compromise through mediation. I believe that I achieve excellent results for my clients, and I invite you to read what some of my clients have to say about me.

When you need a mediator to facilitate the settlement discussions, when you need a mediator to ask probing questions about the case, when you need a mediator to explore the parties? best interests, when you need a mediator to get the parties to reevaluate positions and make informed decisions, let me use my experience to help you.
