Philosophy of Mediation
The parties to a mediation don't want a mere messenger, they want a mediator with a plan. Reaching a settlement takes mediation skills and subject-matter experience. With over 36 years of litigation experience, Joe has the background and knowledge to come up with a flexible, active and aggressive plan to settle your case.
