MEDIATION/ARBITRATION: While I love the practice of law, I see how litigation causes havoc in the lives of people involved in a lawsuit as well as major disruption in any organization named in a lawsuit. Even the winners in litigation are sometimes unhappy with the time and expense involved with a lawsuit, much less the losers in the case. Back in 2006, after 20 years of representing mostly defendants, I wondered whether there was a better way to resolve disputes. I can tell you now--there is--alternative dispute resolution (ADR) which includes arbitration and mediation. I have moved my practice to focus exclusively on ADR and I truly enjoy what I do. That in turn, means I do an excellent job for the people and attorneys who hire me. With respect to arbitrations, I have arbitrated million dollar claims and can offer quick turn-around and resolute attention to the dispute.
In mediation, I have turned seemingly intractable parties around, brought them to the table and found a solution that everyone can live with. I would be pleased to bring my calm demeanor, professionalism and the wisdom I have gained through hundreds of mediations to your dispute. I have mediated real estate, employment, intellectual property, licensing, leasing and commercial disputes and am proud to boast that I mediated the first mortgage foreclosure cases in Madison County and St. Louis County pursuant to the mediation programs put in place to combat the foreclosure crisis.

Mediation much better than expected!
Kim was assigned by the EEOC to mediate a claim against my prior employer. She was very professional, warm and courteous, asked a lot of questions to understand my side, and started the mediation with a very clear set of guidelines for both sides to follow. Her stated goal was to have the case resolv...
