Settlement Counsel

Working hard as a neutral mediator to get your dispute settled is not the only way, I can help facilitate a settlement.  There are two other ways.  Sometimes a party to a dispute needs a lawyer separate and apart from its trial counsel to serve as a “settlement counsel.”  In such a role, I am not a neutral but instead will be your advocate with the other side(s) for settlement.  I serve in this role either at a market hourly rate or on a fee contingent on whether the case settles or at a hybrid of both.  Sometimes a party to a dispute just needs an additional perspective on how to evaluate the dispute for settlement purposes.  I serve in that role at a market hourly rate. 

Arbitration

Finally, while my primary focus is on getting disputes settled, upon request I will serve as an arbitrator at a market hourly rate.
