PRACTICES
Alternative Dispute Resolution
In addition to acting as an advocates for clients, I am regularly called upon to preside over arbitrations and act as a mediators and neutral fact-finder. I am committed to acting with the utmost integrity and delivering just and fair results to the parties involved. I serve as a neutral arbitrator in both binding and non-binding arbitrations as well as State Bar fee arbitrations which I have appointed to for over 30 years. As an arbitrators I review the arguments of both parties to a dispute and render just and well-considered arbitration results.
In my capacity as a mediator I follow the latest mediation techniques to assist parties in working together to achieve a result both sides can agree to.
For both arbitration and mediation, we offer a comfortable office setting with separate meeting rooms for both sides to a dispute.

Litigation
I have extensive experience in a broad range of litigation matters, including business, real estate, and probate disputes. While I have regularly appeared in trial and appellate courts, in front of regulatory agencies, and in alternative dispute resolution settings such as mediation and arbitration, I now refer most litigation matters to attorneys with whom I work and have confidence who are skilled in both civil and regulatory matters.
In providing litigation support services to each client, I conduct a thorough analysis of the client’s claims, and develop pre-litigation strategies so that the client can determine what course of action will be of the most benefit. I understand when aggressive action is necessary, and also understand the value of negotiation and other cooperative means of obtaining the best result.
My clients range from large corporations to small local businesses, non-profit groups, and private individuals.
I handle a broad spectrum of issues, including:
