Before becoming a certified mediator, I spent 29 years working as a licensed Florida attorney -- the first 11 as a practicing trial lawyer followed by 18 more managing Claims and Claims Legal for a major national auto insurer.  These experiences have provided me the opportunity to evaluate, negotiate and resolve literally tens-of-thousands of cases.

Throughout my career I have always enjoyed the mediation process and have found that, when done well, it is an invaluable tool to effectively and efficiently maximize recovery and mitigate risk.  

I believe my background and experience make me uniquely qualified to serve as your mediator.  I look forward to working hard for you to get your case settled!
