About Kirk

With over ten years experience in mediation, and twenty years of construction defect and other litigation, I mediate litigated cases and pre-litigation claims and serve as an arbitrator in numerous matters. I also assist parties in negotiations, claim evaluation and preparation prior to litigation, and seek to help them negotiate and settle their own cases.  I have experience mediating construction defect, construction, real estate, contract, business, HOA, and employment disputes. I welcome inquiries and look forward to helping you resolve your dispute!
