I have over 20 years experience advocating and mediating legal disputes for organizations, businesses, families and individuals.

As a lawyer I provide research, collect evidence, prepare witness testimony, provide representation at hearings, and offer legal advice and options. As a mediator I listen to disputes, address emotional issues, identify decisions to be made, and provide a forum for sorting through issues, brainstorming and conflict resolution. These services are now offered to women artists and art organizations.

The clients served and services provided include:
