With over 20 years of alternative dispute resolution experience, I bring my uniquely diverse professional background as an attorney (public interest, law firm, solo practice), as an educator, and as a community leader to all that I do. Eckstein Conflict Resolution Services is a full-service dispute resolution practice that offers mediation, facilitation, conflict coaching, training, and arbitration in a wide range of contexts.My essential nature is that of a bridge builder and creative problem solver. I value collaborative process, believe that we can simultaneously disagree and still understand each other's perspective, and find it energizing and meaningful when agreements and resolutions emerge between those who previously have been stuck in conflict and mired in dispute. I have expertise in both litigated disputes and non-litigated conflicts. I am a mediator who is comfortable with, and relatable to, parties without legal counsel as well as those represented by attorneys. I believe that every dispute involves people and that a holistic approach enables underlying interests to emerge and be addressed. Although I have experience with a wide range of practice areas, I focus especially on disputes that involve those with prior or ongoing relationships - workplace, employment, divorce, custody and parenting, adult family and elder care, family business and small business succession, real estate, condo and HOA.
