Expert Guidance for Complex Disputes.

A trusted, neutral third party dedicated to resolving complex conflicts in employment, real estate, and commercial matters. My balanced approach is designed to save you time and cost, reduce conflict, and give you control over the outcome.

Find the Right Path to Resolution.

Every dispute is unique. Whether you are an employee facing a workplace issue, a party in a real estate disagreement, or a business navigating a commercial conflict, I provide a structured and empathetic process to help you find common ground. My goal is to leverage my comprehensive legal background to achieve a resolution that is practical and lasting.

Employment Disputes

Specializing in sensitive, high-stakes workplace conflicts with a uniquely balanced perspective from representing both employees and employers.

My deepest area of expertise lies in resolving complex and often emotional employment law conflicts. Having spent over a decade representing both plaintiffs and defendants, I bring a rare 360-degree view to every mediation. I understand the legal arguments, the business realities, and the human element from both sides of the table, which is critical for building the trust necessary to find a fair and durable resolution.

Common Issues We Resolve:

  • Wage and Hour Claims (including overtime, meal/rest period violations, and class actions)
  • Wrongful Termination
  • Discrimination (based on disability, age, gender, race, etc.)
  • Workplace Harassment
  • Retaliation and Whistleblower Claims
  • Breach of Employment Contracts
  • Executive Compensation and Bonus Disputes
  • Leave Rights and Disability Law (FMLA/CFRA)

Real Estate Disputes

Facilitating practical and durable agreements for landlord-tenant, purchase, and other property-related conflicts.

Real estate disagreements can be financially significant and highly stressful. My approach is to de-escalate the conflict and focus on a practical, business-like resolution. By facilitating clear communication and exploring all possible solutions, I help parties make informed decisions that protect their interests and preserve their assets, avoiding the uncertainty and expense of court.

Areas of Focus:

  • Landlord-Tenant Disputes: Conflicts over leases, security deposits, habitability, and evictions.
  • Purchase & Sale Agreements: Disagreements arising from failed transactions, disclosure issues, and breaches of contract.
  • HOA and Neighbor Disputes: Conflicts over property lines, covenants, and common area usage.

Commercial & Business Disputes

Providing efficient, business-savvy resolution for commercial conflicts, informed by years of in-house corporate counsel experience.

Having served as Vice President and Senior Attorney for a publicly-traded company, I understand that business disputes are about more than just the law—they are about risk, relationships, and the bottom line. I approach commercial mediation with a strategic mindset, helping parties find solutions that are not only legally sound but also commercially viable.

Resolving Business-to-Business Conflicts:

  • Breach of Contract: Disputes between clients, suppliers, vendors, and partners.
  • Partnership and Shareholder Disputes: Conflicts regarding business operations, finances, and dissolution.
  • Vendor and Supplier Disagreements: Issues related to service level agreements, payment, and performance.
  • International Commercial Contract Disputes: Navigating the complexities of cross-border business disagreements..
