Meet Our Mediators

Did you know that among our 46 mediators, there are graduates of seventeen different law schools? More interestingly, did you know that we have a published novelist, dedicated volunteers and accomplished athletes among us? Like you, our mediators have varied pursuits outside the office and have been shaped by their experiences.  And these aspects of their lives, that make them who they are, aren’t the typical subject of what you can glean from a bio or resume. So, to learn more about our exceptional team of dedicated mediators, we are commencing what we hope you will find both informative and enjoyable. Over the coming months, Kim Sands and Richard Lord will present interviews of our mediators in our “Meet Our Mediators” blog series.
