Practice Description:
My mediation practice is focused in the family law field including not only divorce, but also custody, support, parenting plans, paternity and grandparent visitation issues. I am available to mediate for parties from any Oregon county with family law issues if the parties are willing to come to my office in Portland. I am able to prepare all the necessary legal paperwork to bring mediated matters to their conclusion.
Approach to Practice / Form of Mediation:
I believe based on my years of experience that mediation can provide the parties with a reasonable process for resolving some of life's most challenging issues. My goal is to provide the participants in the mediation process with the opportunity to work through their issues with each other in a fair and productive manner.
Background:
I have been an attorney in Oregon for 30 years. My practice has been focused exclusively on family law matters for the past 27 years. I have handled all aspects of family law matters including custody, support and property division issues in context of divorce, paternity, domestic partnership and juvenile law matters. I am acutely aware of the costs, both financial and emotional, of divorce on the individual and their families and the benefits of mediation. I am the current secretary of the Oregon Academy of Family Law Practitioners, an organization comprised of lawyers, judges and mediators that promotes the continuing education and professionalism of lawyers, mediators and judges in the field. I am a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers at the national and state level, an executive committee member for the Oregon State Bar Alternative Dispute Resolution Section and a member of the Oregon Mediation Association.
