I am an attorney at law admitted to practice 12/22/76. I was certified as a specialist in family law by the State Bar Board of Legal Specialization in 1985. I have a certificate in mediation from Fresno Pacific University from August 2011. I have been mediating since the 1990s and have been in practice over 35 years.


Professional Background:
I have been practicing law since 1976. In 1985 I became a certified family law specialist. My practice has included mediation for the past 10 years. As of January 1, 2008, my practice is largely mediation, arbitration, and facilitation.


Experience:
I began mediating in the 1990′s and now dedicate my practice to uncontested matters, mediation and arbitration.


Approach:
My mediation style is based on the needs of the participants. It varies from evaluative to marital reconciliation counseling depending on the apparent needs of the parties.
