Mediator's Comments:
|
I am in full time practice as a mediator and a trainer. I practiced as an injury litigation lawyer for 18 years and, prior to that, worked with children and families in the social service sector. I primarily provide mediation services in insurance related cases and in child protection matters. I train mediators at the Justice Institute of British Columbia and the Continuing Legal Education Society of British Columbia. I co-authored the Professional Standards of Practice and Certification Program for the Mediation Development Association of B.C. I bring to mediation a unique mix of experience from my work as a Director of a crisis line, a marriage counselor, a street youth worker, a police constable, a juvenile detention unit supervisor, and a litigation lawyer.
