Begin the process of resolving your dispute

I'm a Partner with Becherer Kannett & Schweitzer. My practice focuses on Litigation and Mediation. I take pride in helping my clients reduce their headaches. My career has been based on helping ease my clients' burdens by efficiently and effectively solving their legal problems. I have handled cases throughout the State of California. I gained courtroom and trial experience, through my work as a civil litigation attorney and District Attorney, prosecuting criminal cases. I take pride in representing clients in a thorough, effective, and efficient manner. My cases are always analyzed from both sides. They are also analyzed on tactical and technical level. This approach ensures that the best litigation plan is implemented for clients on a case-by-case basis. I use a similar approach in mediating cases. The mediation process must be analyzed on a number of different levels. To successfully mediate a case, we have to focus on the following factors: Human, Business, and Legal. Without the primary focus, the possibility of settlement is remote. I am also an adjunct professor at Golden Gate University Law School, teaching Trial Advocacy and coaching the mock trial team. I have participated, as a faculty member, in the National Institute for Trial Advocacy's Western Regional Trial Skills and Deposition Skills Program. I have conducted mediation training sessions for new mediators to help them better understand and implement the mediation process. I was the reviewer for the NITA publication: PowerPoint(r) 2003 for Professors.
