Approach

As a former litigator, Susan is all too familiar with the win/lose mentality of litigation where a Judge determines who wins and who loses. Realizing there had to be a more positive and less stressful way to resolve disputes, Susan became a mediator so she could help clients find mutually acceptable solutions to their problems. “I help clients decide what works best for them so they can find a path forward in a more positive way saving them time and money compared to other alternatives”.
