I use both evaluative and facilitative approaches. I allow the parties to reach the solution they desire by employing the path they choose; however, the parties, their attorneys and I carefully discuss each party's strengths and weaknesses and why resolution through mediation would be beneficial and preferable to arbitration or litigation. Where the parties may not have considered a particular type of solution, the negotiation has dramatically slowed down and become unproductive, or the parties have found it difficult to continue negotiations, I generally will suggest, with the parties consent, settlement terms, either broad or specific, as the circumstances indicate. I am extremely persistent and work very hard, doing whatever it takes, to assist the parties in achieving a resolution of their dispute.
