I'm a lawyer but I believe if conflict resolution is structured correctly it is likely that your best behaviors will be promoted and there will be less needless provoking of your fears. I've seen settlements shoved down confused litigants in mediation. I've seen divorces that have made bad situations worse and only benefitted the attorneys. I've been at hearings where it is obvious the commissioner has not read the paperwork and seen judge's reach decisions that make both sides shake their heads. I have faith that with proper assistance clients are best able to determine what is just and reasonable.

I do all filings, writings and pleadings myself. What makes me different is the personal service I provide to every client. All clients get my mobile number and email, so they can reach me when the inevitable panic attack happens.

What I lack in decades of practice experience, I make up for with my tenacity and my client-friendly fees. Right now, I am looking to make a name for myself, which means that...
