Based upon all of my experience, I believe with a passion that almost every Family Law matter (and I am referring primarily to Divorce proceedings) should be settled out of Court through the process of Mediation. As a judicial officer, I have seen literally hundreds of cases where the parties spent tens of thousands of dollars in wasted fees to litigate their case with always an uncertain result. This would put extreme stress on the parties, their children, and kept the decision of how to resolve their case out of their control. I firmly believe that with my assistance, I can help parties settle their matters outside the stress of the courtroom, and promote the parties maintaining an amicable relationship despite the breakup of the marriage. That is the goal that I will strive to achieve in each case I am given the privilege to handle.
