I am a firm believer in mediation and other forms of alternate dispute resolution (ADR) as a first choice means of settling divorce and family issues. In my experience couples and families are most often better served by sorting out and resolving divorce and family matters by doing so themselves with the assistance of a highly qualified neutral.
I have been concerned with such matters as a parent of a blended family, an educator, attorney, as the Child Advocate for the State of Connecticut, and as a CT Superior Court judge. Since 2019 when I left the bench to start providing private mediation/arbitration services, I have applied the knowledge and experience I have gained in these related fields and occupations to help couples and families reach agreements on many life-altering decisions. I believe that most have richly benefited from these services. With few exceptions, all of my mediations result in court approved resolutions.
Mediations work best when they are efficient and provide high quality results. I employ my knowhow and deep understanding of how to reach such resolutions and hope you will consider my qualifications as you make your decision concerning where to turn with such matters.
Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation if you would like more information.
