The health and safety of our community is my utmost concern during these unprecedented times. In response to the recent developments related to the COVID-19 outbreak, I am offering to conduct mediations and arbitration hearings via Zoom Conferencing. Zoom enables us to meet face-to-face online in a virtual conference room. In mediations, there is an unlimited number of virtual break-out rooms for caucusing and strategizing. Zoom gives the parties the ability to screen share important documents such as exhibits and agreements. I look forward to facilitating dispute resolutions in this new way. https://zoom.us/
