Introduction

Richard has a reputation for his unique ability to build consensus among parties with varied and sometimes competing interests 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.
