I am dedicate myself to working exclusively as a certified mediator. As a neutral mediator my focus is on helping parties settle their family law cases. I am relying on my 27 years of experience as an attorney litigating family law cases. During my legal career I gained extensive and valuable trial and hearing experience. I represented thousands of clients in all types of family law matters including divorce, legal separation, support, child custody/visitation, property division, and restraining orders.
After 27 years as a family law attorney, I am clearly convinced that mediation is the best process available for resolving family law cases. Mediation is private and confidential. Mediation is much less expensive, takes less time, and is less stressful for the parties. I am providing my mediation services in both English and Spanish. My fees are low compared to other mediators with similar experience. Likewise, my fee schedule is clear with no hidden charges. Most importantly, I go the extra mile and beyond to help parties mediate and settle their case.

My entire ankle was broken in half due to a fall at an apartment complex. He took this case without hesitation knowing the rough road that lied...
