As your mediator, Rebecca Cardozo-Pfeiffer feels it’s her role to help you and your fellow disputants develop creative resolutions to your conflicts, so you can move forward with more hope and less stress.
Whether you are looking to resolve childcare and financial disputes in a marriage or divorce, or having a civil, community, or health care related conflict, Rebecca can help all parties find solutions that work for everyone. As your neutral, she does not ask how to win or lose a pie, she asks “how can you share a bigger pie?”
Courts, lawyers, and litigation are stressful, time consuming, uncontrollable and hard to move past. Mediation gives all parties control of the process and the outcome at a fraction of the financial and emotional cost of court.
Rebecca has more than 25 years combined training and real world experience in dispute resolution, conflict management and creating hope and empowerment. She holds degrees in law and public health from the George Washington University in Washington, DC, and certificates in conflict management and mediation from the American Bar Association, the American Health Law Association, as well as the Institute of Conflict Management at Lipscomb University, in Nashville, TN.
