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.
