Dispute Resolution
I provide and recommend alternative dispute resolution services to clients whenever appropriate. These services can be a cost-effective approach in certain circumstances.
I am a divorce and commercial mediator.
I can represent your businesses in arbitration at the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) and Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”).
I am trained in the Collaborative Law method of conflict resolution and belongs to the International Association of Collaborative Professionals (“IACP”). Michael is also affiliated with the Staten Island Collaborative Law Group (SICLG).
Collaborative law is the process in which spouses, with their respective attorneys, negotiate and come to an agreement without court intervention with the help of other professionals. While divorce litigation can be expensive and frustrating, Collaborative Law is a cost- effective approach that focuses on the continued well-being of the spouses and their children well after the finalization of the divorce. See the IACP’s FAQs.
