My mission is to offer the highest quality divorce mediation, collaborative legal counsel and related consulting services. From offices in Kirkland and Seattle, I serve East-King County and Seattle couples who want to achieve “Win-Win” divorces, parenting plans, and property settlements while avoiding costly, uncertain, and acrimonious litigation. As a litigation partner for many years in major Seattle law firms, I am well aware of the financial and emotional costs of lawsuits.My goal as a mediator is to facilitate fair and durable outcomes that work for all parties—releasing divorcing couples to move forward financially and emotionally with their children, and their careers.

The focus of my practice is to help families overcome conflict without having to go to court. I have been practicing law since 1992 and have spent many of those years doing trial work. At some point during my career, I realized that the traditional judicial process was not helping the pain and suffering of families who were experiencing conflict. Even when we “won” our cases, by the time we were done with the process, my clients were usually traumatized and felt betrayed by a system that had failed them. This was particularly true for clients who came from other countries and did not speak English. Early in 2002, I began to explore mediation and negotiations as an alternative method to help
