PJD Mediation, LLC

Since 1998 I practiced as an attorney specializing in family law. I learned early on that most families are better served by resolving their issues (divorce, custody, parenting time, etc.) outside of the court system. With this understanding I pursued training in alternative avenues of dispute resolution including mediation, parenting coordinator/decision maker, arbitration, and collaborative law. My practice is now dedicated to providing alternative dispute resolution services to people; helping them find a common ground and helping them avoid court.
