NMAS Mediator, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner and Family Group Conference Facilitator
After 15 years as a litigation lawyer, Fiona wondered if there was a better way to go about it; a way that saves people paying extensive legal fees, a way that gets much faster results, and a way that is less stressful for parties and their families. That thought lead to Fiona’s now thriving mediation practice.
My goal is to help people achieve fast and effective agreements for the benefit of their family and their future, so they can move forward and begin the next chapter of their lives.
