I view mediation as one of the only opportunities for parties to control the outcome of their case or dispute. I view the mediator’s role to be more than a mere facilitator or message carrier, rather I believe a good mediator takes on an evaluative role to provide insight on how an experienced trial attorney and arbitrator views the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. At the end of the day, great mediators use their skills to resolve matters doing what it takes to find creative solutions.
