Alyson uses her years of experience as a litigator, practicing on both the Plaintiff and Defense sides, and her formal mediation training from the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the Center for Civic Mediation to work with counsel and their clients to reach a joint resolution of their disputes.
Alyson tempers her no holds barred honest assessment of a party's claims and defenses with a compassionate touch because, truth be told, every dispute becomes personal to the parties involved in it.
Alyson conducts both full and half-day private mediations, in-person and virtually, and can accommodate litigants who need to schedule mediations on short notice or on weekends. Alyson is also available for arbitrations.
