After practicing for 14 years as as litigation attorney, I now dedicate my practice exclusively to the mediation of civil disputes. I work very hard to save my clients the expense and disruption associated with taking a case to trial. My approach to mediation is to thoroughly understand the legal issues and facts of each case and, drawing from my litigation experience, highlight areas of risk and exposure. I go into each mediation with a thoughtful strategy to bridge gaps and break impasse. Below is recent client feedback from successful mediations:

"Jessica acted as a mediator in a case which I represented one of the parties.  The mediation was a difficult one, given some prosaic legal issues and complicated by very emotional commitments of the parties. Jessica came to the mediation extremely well prepared,  as she had read and mastered the information provided by each party prior to the mediation. During the mediation, the cause could have been lost a few times, except for Jessica's steadfast efforts to help the parties reach a resolution."

"Ms. Goldman was the mediator in a federal court case I recently had.  She was attentive to concerns of both parties and has an effective communication style.  I think her approachable manner went a log way in bridging a lof of gaps between the parties."
