Join Me As I Venture Forth as a Construction Mediator. . .

As you know, I am a big fan of mediation for the resolution of construction disputes.  I have discussed the value, both monetarily and stress wise, of mediation on multiple occasions.  I have discussed the value of mediation even when it does not lead to settlement and had numerous Guest Post Friday posts from my good friend and uber-mediator Victoria Pynchon (@vickiepynchon), the most recent being just a couple of weeks ago.

I am such an advocate of mediation that I became a Virginia Supreme Court certified General District Court mediator, receiving my certification earlier this year.  Since then, I’ve mediated cases for the Chesterfield County, VA General District Courts and truly learned a lot and enjoyed assisting parties to come to a self-determined and likely more satisfying conclusion to their legal disputes.

I’ve enjoyed acting as a mediator so much that I’m now expanding my law practice to include the mediation of private construction disputes.  By making this move, I hope to use my years as a construction litigator and advocate to assist construction professionals to resolve their issues short of the long and expensive road to trial and judgment.  I truly believe that many, if not most, construction disputes are ripe for mediation at some stage of the dispute process (whether before filing a lawsuit or at some point between filing and judgment).

Don’t worry though, I am still committed to acting as an advocate, litigator and construction attorney to the contractors, subcontractors and other construction professionals in Virginia.

In short, please contact me to ask about my construction mediation services should you have a construction dispute (large or small) to resolve.
