Mediator's Profile

Sara Kula

Business Name: Kula Law PC

Sara Kula assists parties in resolving disputes through pre- and post-litigation mediation.  Sara remains neutral and respectful as she facilitates communication between the parties, increases understanding on all sides, clarifies misunderstandings, and fosters creative thinking.  Sara believes a mediation is successful if all sides have sufficient information to make an informed decision concerning whether there is a mutually agreeable resolution preferable to all parties than continued litigation.  In reaching this result, Sara listens to the parties’ concerns, acts as a sounding board, questions the parties positions, and provides them with additional factors to consider.
