At age 75, after 46 years as a lawyer and 30 years as a neutral, I am announcing my retirement and thus accepting no new cases.

I will be mediating cases already on the calendar. In addition, I will remain available for follow-up through June 30, 2023 to assist on cases pending after formal mediation sessions.

It’s been an honor to have served as a practicing lawyer and later as a fulltime neutral. I’m proud to have been a President of the Oregon State Bar, member of the OSB Board of Bar Examiners, Chair of the OSB Alternative Dispute Resolution Section, and Chair of two OSB task forces. I am grateful for the many years of support and encouragement from my lawyer colleagues.
