Drawing on lessons learned from decades of litigation and inspired by a desire to transform conflict into collaboration, I founded SSAM Alternative Dispute Resolution (SSAM ADR) in 2016. SSAM is built on the belief that trust, empathy, respect, and communication can turn the negativity of litigation into the positivity of resolution. Through hundreds of mediations, I’ve seen firsthand how finding common ground not only resolves disputes but also fosters deeper understanding and connection.
