Civil Mediation
Resolve civil disputes with clarity, not conflict.
Litigation can be slow, costly, and draining. Civil mediation offers a confidential, structured setting where both sides can be heard and practical, business-minded solutions can take shape.
Matters I help resolve
Commercial, property, and civil disputes.
From long-standing business relationships to disagreements between neighbors, I help parties step back from positions and focus on workable outcomes.
Commercial & contract disputes
Breach of contract, payment disagreements, and vendor or supplier conflicts.
Real property
Boundary, easement, construction, and real estate transaction disputes.
Landlord & tenant
Lease terms, security deposits, repairs, and residential or commercial tenancies.
Business & partnership
Partner, shareholder, and ownership disagreements, including technology businesses.
Employment matters
Workplace conflicts and separation terms, handled with discretion.
Neighbor & community
HOA concerns and community disputes where relationships continue.
Why mediate
A smarter path than the courtroom.
Cost-conscious
Mediation typically costs a fraction of extended litigation, preserving resources for what matters.
Faster resolution
Sessions are scheduled around you, often resolving matters in weeks rather than years.
Confidential
Discussions stay private, protecting reputations and sensitive business information.
Relationships preserved
A collaborative tone keeps business and personal relationships intact wherever possible.
Creative solutions
Agreements can include terms a court could never order, tailored to your actual needs.
You stay in control
The outcome is decided by the parties, not imposed by a third party.
The process
A clear, structured path from dispute to agreement.

Minnesota Rule 114 Qualified Neutral
A qualified civil neutral under Minnesota Rule 114.
Minnesota courts often refer civil cases to an ADR process under Rule 114 of the General Rules of Practice. As a neutral listed on the state's roster for civil mediation, I can serve parties in both court-referred and private matters.
That qualification reflects specialized training and a commitment to the highest standards of neutrality, so you and your counsel can move forward with confidence.
