Approach

Robin believes that empowerment of the parties is the key to resolution and encourages preparation for mediation so that participants (mediators and their attorneys) are able to explore options and alternatives of their choosing. She considers her style focused on the “business” of dispute resolution and encourages dispassionate evaluation of the facts and circumstances as presented by each side in a dispute. She will be as involved as the Rules permit and the parties request.
