“Your keen ability as a mediator, working with the government and plaintiffs’ counsel, as well as with the class representatives, was instrumental in the parties reaching settlement.”
“Your efforts clearly went above and beyond the call of duty, both prior to and subsequent to the mediation.”
“Your name will definitely be on the top of the list the next time I am in need of an Arbitrator or Mediator.”
“Because of your persuasion and persistence, we reached a resolution satisfactory to both sides. Your services as a mediator were superb.”

Arbitration and Related ADR Experience

Experienced arbitrator in over 100 commercial, construction, employment and class arbitrations with amounts in controversy up to $100 million. Commercial disputes arbitrated have included virtually all areas of the law including disputes in the health care industry, medical partnerships, pharmaceuticals, insurance claims, and banking. I am one of a small group of trainers for the AAA Arbitrator II training, and a panelist in the new AAA e-commerce arbitration program. Arbitration experience includes participating in a mass claims arbitration involving thousands of state employees and serving as the sole arbitrator in four regional and national class arbitrations. 

I served as Chair of an ABA Task Force on ADR and E-Commerce which developed guidelines for the use of ADR in electronic commerce and currently serve as chair of an ABA task force examining the use of ADR to resolve corporate governance disputes. I am a member of American Arbitration Association Law Committee which advises the AAA board on substantive arbitration issues. I am also a panelist with the National Arbitration Forum where I regularly arbitrate domain name and consumer disputes.

I have served as the Chair of the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution, the Arizona Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution, and the Arizona State Bar Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution.  I teach arbitration at the Arizona State University College of Law.
