Locations
I primarily mediate via the Zoom teleconferencing system and have been doing so since the 2020 pandemic. As of 11/1/2024 I have done approximately 700 mediations with about 250 being held via Zoom. I have found no statistically significant difference in outcomes between Zoom and in-person mediations. Nevertheless, if you desire to mediate in-person I am happy to do so, but you will need to furnish the venue. I have redundant internet connections to insure solid connectivity.
Background
After 16 years on the 33rd Judicial District Court bench, in 2013 I began a new career of alternative dispute resolution through mediation and arbitration. I now practice solely as a mediator and in other areas of dispute resolution. I hold the “Credentialed Distinguished” Mediator designation from the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association and “Certified Advanced Practitioner” with the Academy of Professional Family Mediators. I am also a member of the Association of Attorney-Mediators and the Texas Association of Mediators.

I accept both half-day and full day sessions. Clients should take a look at the For The Clients page for advance information.
Types of cases mediated
Almost any type of litigation — both actively in court and pre-litigation. My law practice was general, my bench was one of general jurisdiction, and in mediating since January 1, 2013 I have encountered a wide variety of subject matter. My background as a Certified Public Accountant has often been brought to bear in my understanding of financial complexities both in commercial matters and family dissolution.
Other services
If you already have a mediator, I am also available to consult with attorneys on mediation strategies and preparation. Lastly, I am also available for single arbiter arbitrations.

What is a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator (TMCA)
I recognized that mediation would require a different skill set than that of a trial court judge. Therefore, I completed both the basic and advanced family mediation certification courses and have gained the experience to be credentialed by the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association as a Distinguished Mediator. I adhere to its Code of Ethics. You can see what others are saying about my services on the reviews page. That’s the short version and the long version can be viewed here.
Area served
While I primarily mediate and arbitrate cases from the counties of Burnet, Llano, Blanco, San Saba, Gillespie, Kerr, Travis, Williamson, Bexar, Lampasas, Brown and McCulloch. I am happy to also mediate cases from anywhere in Texas (now with Zoom), and beyond.
It is my hope that this site will aid the process of dispute resolution in Texas through interesting articles, comments from astute readers and links to some of the excellent blogs by other mediators.
Without a doubt, Mediation Makes the Difference™ as do all forms of dispute resolution.
