The power to resolve the dispute is in the hands of those who participate in the mediation. Court outcomes are never predictable or controlled by the participants. Mediation puts the participants in control of the outcome. It is essential that all parties have a clear understanding of the issues in dispute. I strive to give the parties tools they can use to problem solve and come to resolution on their own when possible. I encourage the examination of other impacts and consequences, and outside influences, not restricted to legal rules or proceedings that can impact the outcome and positions of the parties. Relationships, reputations, repeat business, along with personal and business dealings can all improve with improved communication skills. We support ethnic and cultural diversity and considerations relating to differences in perception.
