I specialize in high conflict cases and child-related issues and I’m one of the most experienced mediators in South Jersey. I started in the 1990s – when mediation was little known in this area. My experience as a divorce attorney – and as parent with young children – told me then that mediation was truly the only way for a couple to divorce rationally, with dignity, and in a way that protected their children, above all. I also offer a half-hour consultation where I teach you the basics about divorce mediation. I teach new mediators how to mediate, and I hail from a family of teachers, so it comes naturally.
