Practising law for over 44 years, now devoting my time to mediation and arbitration services to clients who want an alternative to going to court. My certification for mediation comes from both Family Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario (FDRIO) of which I am one of four founding members and the Ontario Association for Family Mediation (OAFM). My certification as an arbitrator comes from FDRIO. I am a past president of OAFM and Family Mediation Canada. I have practised mediation since 1998 and arbitration since 2006. It is important for me to help people resolve conflicts in the most cost effective way they can.
