Introduction
Over the three decades of his legal career, Richard earned the respect of colleagues, adversaries, and the courts for his intelligence, creativity, and high ethical standards. His success was matched only by his continued commitment to the legal community, including acting as President of both the San Diego County Bar Association and the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego. As a mediator, Richard has built a reputation for finding ways to settle even the most challenging case through his calm leadership style, integrity and credibility. An attorney had this to say about Richard as a mediator, “Clearly a big picture guy who knows how to take the little steps to overcome barriers which keep the parties apart. Highly recommend Richard for mediations should you need a closer.” From the simple to the complex, and from the cooperative to the contentious, Richard has the experience, the temperament, and the skills that are needed to help parties resolve their disputes in an expeditious and professional manner.
