After participating as an attorney advocate in mediation and arbitration for over 20 years,I enrolled in a Master's degree program in Alternative Dispute Resolution to learn more about the ADR processes. I attained a Master's degree in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution from the Creighton University School of Law (Werner Institute) in 2013. I am on the Kentucky Office of the Courts approved rosters for general and family mediation,the mediation and arbitration rosters for the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors and Kentucky Bar Association, the lemon law/warranty claim panel of arbitrators through the Better Business Bureau, and the approved panel of arbitrators for CAP Motors/Consumer Arbitration Program.

I have substantial training and experience in various mediation styles including, evaluative, facilitative, transformative and narrative. I will work with you and your attorney or representative to tailor the mediation process to the needs of the parties and nature of the dispute. My mediation process can also assess the conflict competency of the parties and can provide coaching when needed. As to arbitration, I will normally hold a prehearing telephonic conference to review with the parties the many ways we can structure the arbitration process which can vary widely depending on the type,complexity, number of parties and the amount of the claim. At the time of the prehearing conference, we will also discuss and implement appropriate rules for the arbitration and will schedule a definite calendar for all aspects of the case.

A $250 p/hr fee with a 2 hr. minimum is standard, however the fee can vary depending on such things as the arbitration panel,the complexity of the case, issues involved and whether the matter is proceeding through a prearranged plan or service such as the CAP Motors Consumer Arbitration Program.

My goal is to help parties in conflict to achieve fair results at a reasonable cost. I will work with the participants and/or their legal counsel to design a suitable process in which participants will feel heard and respected. Agreements reached through mediation and awards made through the arbitration process will be very sensitive to this.
