Experience that Counts
After more than 40 years as a senior attorney, Phyllis knows firsthand how many disputes can benefit from the use of mediation, as opposed to litigation.

Phyllis has mediated more than 2,000 disputes, pairing a facilitative approach with the ability to ask both parties hard questions that lead to greater clarity on the important issues. With the in-depth legal knowledge necessary to keep parties focused on the relevant issues, she is passionate about helping people find creative, viable solutions to their disputes so they can move forward.
Phyllis is an expert mediator and attorney. She has published articles in countless publications, such as California Lawyer.
With experience spanning close to 20 years and 2,000 disputes, Phyllis has wisdom, skill and knowledge that is hard to come by. She maliciously puts that experience to paper and maintains a highly read and regarded mediation blog.
