Partnering With Legal Professionals for Effective ADR
I work with attorneys and LLPs across Colorado to help clients resolve disputes through mediation, collaborative law facilitation, arbitration, conciliation, and restorative practices. My role is to support—not replace—your legal work by providing an impartial, efficient, and client-focused ADR process that aligns with your case strategy.
Services Available to Attorneys & LLPs
- MEDIATION:
- Family, civil, community, and interpersonal disputes
- COLLABORATIVE LAW FACILITATION:
- Collaborative divorce and multi-party resolution models
- ARBITRATION AND MED-ARB:
- Binding or hybrid processes for more formal resolution needs
- CONCILIATION:
- Informal settlement assistance in ongoing cases
- RESTORATIVE FACILITATION:
- Cases where repairing relationships benefits long-term outcomes
Not sure which process fits your case?
Call or text me — I'm happy to talk it through.
How I Work With You
- Attorney Present at Mediation: You guide your client on legal strategy. I facilitate constructive negotiation, manage the process, and help parties move toward resolution — without overstepping into legal advice.
- Attorney Not Present at Mediation: I ensure your client understands the process, encourage them to seek your review before finalizing any agreement, and keep you informed within the bounds of confidentiality.
- Collaborative Law Teams: I serve as the neutral facilitator, coordinating with attorneys, mental health professionals, and financial neutrals to support a full collaborative team model.
- Arbitration by Stipulation: Available to handle specific issues within the scope of an agreed order, when parties need a binding decision rather than a negotiated one.
Benefits to Your Clients — and to Your Practice
For your clients:
- Faster resolution than litigation
- Significant cost savings on preparation, discovery, and trial
- Greater ownership of and compliance with final agreements
- Preservation of relationships where ongoing contact is necessary (co-parenting, business, family)
For your practice:
- A reliable ADR partner you can refer with confidence
- Reduced case management burden on contested matters
- Clients who come back to you satisfied — and refer others
Professional Standards
I maintain impartiality, confidentiality, and compliance with Colorado’s ADR standards. My process is designed to respect your client’s legal rights and your role as their legal representative.
I am a member of the Academy of Professional Family Mediators (APFM), Colorado Collaborative Divorce Professionals (CCDP), the Boulder County Bar Association, and the Colorado Bar Association.
