IT’S OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL!

I received confirmation that I am now listed on the Louisiana State Bar Association’s approved Registry for Civil Mediators under their ADR section.

Throughout the United States, mediation is becoming a frequent alternative to trial. In fact, there are a number of local courts, especially Family Courts, that mandate mediation before adjudication. For one reason, courts are over burdened with cases; many deemed frivolous. Another reason is that a law suit and trial can be very costly!
