Her main goal in all cases is to reach a negotiated settlement. She is a strong advocate and negotiator, having four-way meetings to try to get everyone on the same page without the cost and emotional turmoil of court.

She develops strategies and works closely with her clients to navigate through the process, which is sometimes difficult.
