Construction cases mediated have included termination for cause, delay damages, inefficiencies, design errors, and active interference issues as well as many other damage issues.

Mediation is the most effective form of Alternative Dispute Resolution and I would consider myself an evaluative mediator. I like to analyze the dispute and provide both parties with my assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. I expect that both parties are serious about reaching a settlement.
