Dispute Resolution Consultants, Inc.

Welcome

Based on my experience in the mediation field since 1989, having been called to speak at various judicial conferences and mediating more than 6000 civil cases, I have a clear understanding of the mediation process.In addition to the types of cases I have mediated, I was contacted by the Florida Dept. of Insurance after multiple hurricanes in our state in 2004 and 2005 and mediated more than 2000 hurricane damage insurance claims.

When hired as an umpire, I am the intermediary responsible for resolving the cost of damages when party appraisers cannot reach an agreement.

In the event that a policyholder or the insurance company invoke appraisal the two appraisers must choose an umpire. Most policies require that the two appraisers must select and agree upon the Insurance Appraisal Umpire within 15-days of the two appraisers being named. The chosen appraisal umpire must be an impartial, unbiased, and disinterested party in the outcome of the appraisal award.
