About Ariel
Personal Story
My interest in mediation was ignited during my own personal divorce experience. My children were still very young at the time. I felt the same pain and anxiety experienced by many of my clients.
Despite my lawyer’s solid representation and my own legal training, I found the court process to be frustrating and nerve-racking.
In short, I get what YOU are going through.
Mediation offered us a healthier and more cost-effective option. Though we did not settle during our first attempt, we returned to mediation and ultimately succeeded.
I came to realize that many cases can be resolved without the need for court intervention, and that even those who have already tried mediation can benefit by resuming mediation later with the right mediator.
Mediation Approach
A law license and mediation certification do not automatically transform a person into a skilled and effective mediator.
My approach is pragmatic, empathetic and based on law practice experience. I ensure a respectful process for all participants, in which you will be heard and have your needs properly considered.
I have the professional AND personal experience and skills to successfully guide you through your conflict.
Even if your case is heated or complex, I can help you reach a fair and sustainable resolution without the high stresses, costs and uncertainties of the litigation process.
