Experienced.
Impartial.

Since 2010, I've worked to resolve over two thousand cases across a wide range of areas of the law: contract, real property, foreclosure, premises liability, first party insurance, personal injury,  business, commercial, construction, subcontractor, small claims, juvenile dependency and family cases like divorce, paternity, relocation or alimony and child support modifications.  

If you are an attorney looking for a mediator who can help you, your client, and the other side (or sides!) negotiate effectively, I am your neutral.  

If you are mediating with no attorney, no problem.  Unlike many other attorney mediators, I have worked with hundreds of people representing themselves "pro se" in court.  

I am fluent in Spanish or Portuguese.  

Si necesita mediación en español, con gusto le acomodamos. Se você precisar de mediação em português, teremos prazer em atendê-lo.

Each case is unique. My mediation philosophy is to meet people where they are – in a difficult moment of their lives – and work with all sides to try to build a better way forward.
