My passion is resolving workplace disputes through arbitration or mediation.   
It's that simple.

I am a full-time arbitrator and mediator with over 40 years of experience. My focus is labor-management disputes, both private sector and public sector. I conduct both in-person and remote hearings. Parties have jointly selected me to serve on over a dozen permanent panels.

Arbitration: I conduct an orderly hearing, allow the parties’ representatives to try their own cases, write clear decisions, and get decisions out on time. 

Mediation: I press hard for a settlement without being bossy.

I like to write about employment law: My blog, Employment Law Memo, SCOTUSblog.

And I’m hooked on making short videos discussing recent employment law topics.
