Biography
With more than 20 years of experience as a trial lawyer, I have honed my skills in the field of special education and disability law. Transitioning into a new practice area, my focus is on providing sustainable solutions for my clients. My approach involves empathy, collaboration, and advocacy to help clients resolve issues related to special education, discriminatory conflicts, and more. As a trained mediator, I bring extensive experience in negotiations to the table. I offer mediation services for those seeking to resolve disputes amicably and provide conflict resolution training for individuals and organizations. Additionally, I offer consulting services to school districts, non-profits, boards, employers, and other entities interested in proactive conflict resolution strategies aimed at fostering long-term relationships and minimizing the need for litigation.
