Have served as a AAA mediator, Volunteer Mediator for the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Philadelphia District Office; and as a privately retained Mediator for numerous employment discrimination claims and other employment law related matters. Have also participated in hundreds of mediations, settlement conferences and conciliation conferences representing clients over a 30 plus year career in federal and state courts, federal and state administrative agencies, and pre-filing mediations throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Each mediation is unique and I approach each mediation as a learning exercise. The employment law mediation process requires empathy, reality and perseverance. My first objective is to attempt to learn all that I can about the dispute through pre-mediation memoranda and speaking to the parties at the mediation to understand their needs. Once I have a full understanding, my primary job as a mediator is to utilize my subject matter expertise to facilitate frank discussions about the strengths and weaknesses of each party’s case. Throughout the mediation day we will explore all available options and take as much time as necessary to reach our stated objective, to make every attempt to reach a resolution of the dispute to which each side will be able to agree in order to resolve a dispute in way that allows employees to move on with their lives and employers to move on with their business.

Capability of handing the entire mediation process from pre-mediation conferences through day long mediations on an entirely remote base via the use of Zoom remote video with participants located anywhere throughout the country (with no additional cost incurred by the participants for the technology and coordination).
