Settlement
Counsel
As settlement counsel, I bring decades of experience and specialized negotiating skills to help resolve your dispute efficiently and favorably. While your trial attorneys focus on litigation preparation, I provide independent, strategic guidance dedicated exclusively to finding the best path to resolution.
My role is to assess your case objectively, identify optimal settlement opportunities, and navigate complex negotiations with skill and nuance. I excel at defusing highly contentious situations, turning adversarial dynamics into productive dialogue, and finding creative solutions that preserve relationships and serve your broader interests beyond the courtroom.
I work extensively with families navigating trust and estates disputes, where emotions run high and family relationships hang in the balance. In these sensitive matters, my approach combines legal acumen with an understanding of family dynamics, helping parties find resolutions that honor both their financial interests and their family bonds.
Whether you’re facing commercial litigation, multi-party disputes, or family conflicts over estates and trusts, I collaborate closely with your existing counsel to analyze case economics, develop negotiation strategies, and craft solutions that traditional positional bargaining often misses. My focus on settlement—free from the demands of trial preparation—allows me to maintain the fresh perspective and flexibility needed to achieve results when others reach impasses.
