At Beyond Disputes, we take a non-oppositional approach. Much of our practice utilizes alternative dispute resolution. In addition to preventing foreclosures and helping borrowers work out ways to remain in their homes, I have been active as a mediator for many years. We find that through hard work and active communication, we can resolve conflicts and create solutions that work for all parties involved.

Paul helped me get a modification on my home that helped reduce the principle, interest and prevent foreclosure. Great job Paul!
"Paul is a passionate advocate, smart and highly ethical. Truly a quality attorney and a caring counsellor at law. I have known him since 1993 where we met in a continuing legal education class as young lawyers. Over the years I have witnessed how curious he is for knowledge and best practices. I endorse him with enthusiasm."
"I mediate foreclosures where Paul often represents homeowners. I'm always pleased to see him because he knows what it takes to reach agreements with lenders. If there's a way to an agreement that keeps the borrowers in their home he's going to find it. When homeowners need a referral from me for someone to represent them, Paul and his people at Beyond Disputes are at the top of my list."
"We have had the opportunity to work together on numerous matters in the area of dispute resolution since 2014."
"I have worked with Paul on numerous FFA mediation files. Paul is extremely knowledgeable and always gets the best possible results possible for his clients. I would send my friends and family to his offices in a heartbeat."
"I have known Paul for many years. He is an extremely diligent and competent advocate. I have referred several clients to him for assistance in dealing with underwater moragages. I endorse Paul without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Smart, pragmatic, and can calmly achieve agreement among adverse parties as a mediator."
"Paul's clients are often stressed and many are running out of hope. For those who hire him, Paul brings real skill and deep compassion in equal measure. He gets great results that allow his clients to get back on their feet and move on with building better lives for themselves and their families."
"Paul is a wonderful advocate to work with. I've had the pleasure of sitting at the table with him to resolve several matters related to defaulted mortgages. He is smart, deliberate, and thoughtful when it comes crafting solutions that meet the needs of all parties parties involved. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a knowledgable attorney or mediator to use Paul."
"Paul is a very good advocate and excellent practitioner in the areas of mediation and foreclosure prevention. As a FFA mediator he works quickly and is extremely through. Paul has always been fair and balanced. I would recommend Paul's services to anybody seeking quality representation and advise regarding a potential loan modification."
"I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone facing a residential nonjudicial foreclosure. Paul is caring, responsive, easy to relate to, and he knows the foreclosure and mediation processes very well. I have found that most Washington residents do not know their full legal rights when it comes to foreclosure. They should call Paul first before doing anything else."
