Other Qualifications: Our world is plagued with conflict. We all hunger for peace. Mediation creates the opportunity for peace when conflict seems insurmountable. People think that a mediator will tell them what to do; that is incorrect. A skilled mediator asks the right questions that lead to responses that would otherwise get lost in the strife, and understands the unspoken core issues. When the courthouse looms on the horizon, a skilled mediator will bring light to a hopeless situation. She is a humanitarian and skilled communicator, and understands that conflict resolution only comes from skillfully directed discussions tempered with compassion, understanding, a sense of fair play, and looking forward to the future.
I am that peacemaker - I am that attorney-mediator. With a broad litigation background, I bring skillful, diligent mediation services to the most problematic conflict, whether a simple "barking" dog case, the highly emotionally charged family dispute, or a multi-party business/corporate dispute. Allow me to help you end your conflict and regain peace in your life. TMCA Credentialed Mediator

By continuing to work on cases which did not settle during the scheduled mediation, he has brought unsettled cases to settlement.
Since his mediation training in 1991 conducted by the American Arbitration Association, he has mediated hundreds of cases in a variety of areas of law including: Family Law, Personal Injury, Contract Disputes, Estate Law, Commercial Disputes, Suit on Note, Breach of Contract, Land Disputes, Municipal Law, and DPTA/Bad Faith. RichardÂ’s more than thirty years of litigation experience as attorney and judge as well as his extensive mediation experience gives him a unique insight to bring to bear in resolving disputes. He is also a trained arbitrator, receiving his training from the American Arbitration Association and is available to serve as a private judge.

Other Qualifications: William ("Bill") Hardie is a full-time mediator and arbitrator specializing in complex business and commercial matters, employment disputes, personal injury and wrongful death claims. Other areas of emphasis include professional negligence, partnership dissolution, construction and family and probate matters. Drawing from over 25 years of civil litigation experience on both the plaintiff’s and defendant’s side, Bill Hardie’s modus operandi in dispute resolution proceedings is to talk candidly with the parties and their attorneys regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their respective cases…and what they might expect if settlement is not reached. He goes beyond simply trying to help the parties reach a mutually agreeable “settlement number” and seeks to find ways to uncover hidden value for both parties at little cost to the other. Bill Hardie views dispute resolution proceedings as a forum in which to not only resolve the current dispute but to attempt to put each of the parties in an even more favorable position than before the dispute arose, thereby salvaging relationships where feasible.
