Style & Approach
As a practicing judge for more than a decade, my professionalism and sense of moral code will be my specialty to perform as a mediator in any categories of disputes. To me, mediation is a systematic facilitative or transformative process that allows two or more parties to comprehend their issue(s) of difference through an experienced neutral third party who can help them to mitigate their differences and issues of contention from their own understanding. During mediation I always love to be an open minded, transparent, trustworthy, compassionate, persuasive, understandable, non-judgmental and very careful to express my emotion in any issue. I love to guide the parties to find out the win-win palpable solution through lessening their gaps. In fact, my previous long days experience in the judiciary and study in the very arena of dispute resolution has given a solid understanding to comprehend easily the state of mind of the parties, differences of culture, issues of conflict, possible solutions, and prepare a well-balanced agreement after the settlement. After all, I would prefer to classify my style of mediation as an accommodative and collaborative with synchronization of integrity and punctuality while dealing with the disputing parties at the table of mediation.
