I bring my decades of Texas Family Law experience to assist families in mediation. With that experience, I also bring a human understanding of the stress and toil a family law conflict brings to each individual.
Intelligence, respect, compassion, and a wide-breadth of knowledge provide me the ability to assist in resolving the complicated legal and emotional requirements of a family law case.
I have practiced family law in Texas since 1996 and have devoted my professional career in assisting families. As a Texas family law mediator, I first and foremost try to put everyone at ease.
As a mediator, I meet with both sides impartially and work with everyone to find a mutually beneficial resolution. Most importantly, I take the time to listen to both parties’ concerns, without the formal stresses of courtroom litigations.
I have been honored regularly as one of the “Best” mediators in Tarrant County by my peers and speak often at local and state continuing legal education conferences.
In mediation, I meet with each party separately to discuss freely all of the issues. Then, with the assistance and guidance of your attorneys, we attempt to work through the issues necessary until a resolution can be reached.
Generally, the parties continue to occupy separate rooms enabling the client and the attorney to discuss privately their thoughts and ideas.
If an agreement is reached, that agreement is typed and/or written and signed by all the members of the mediation. It becomes a binding and irrevocable document, finalizing all of the litigation.
The strengths of mediation are in the closure, the weighing of both sides, and the ability to compromise where necessary. It has been my experience that parties to mediation generally settle and feel better about the decisions that they have made, rather than having a Court impose a decision.
