I am a Mediator/Arbitrator with Optimal Dispute Resolutions with a unique focus on resolving family law and other civil matters. I have served for more than 28 years as a judge for the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas where she authored more than 1,000 opinions and handled jury and nonjury trials in criminal, juvenile, civil (business disputes, real estate, contract disputes, malpractice) and other complex litigation issues as well as orphans court. I am well known throughout the Commonwealth for my expertise in divorce, custody and support matters. I take a holistic approach to achieve mutually agreeable resolutions involved in these high conflict and sensitive matters. I seek to utilize my experience to assist individuals and businesses to resolve their disputes outside the courtroom as a skilled mediator and arbitrator.
