Mediation Approach

Brian brings a practical, trial-informed perspective to mediation. He recognizes that successful mediation often requires more than exchanging settlement demands and offers. Parties may need to realistically assess liability, damages, evidence, insurance considerations, litigation costs, and the risks associated with taking a dispute through trial.

Brian works to create a focused environment where participants can identify the issues preventing resolution, evaluate their alternatives, and explore realistic settlement opportunities while retaining control over the ultimate outcome.
