| General Comments |
| I have dedicated my practice exclusively to collaborative law and mediation as soon as I completed my training in 2000. I am passionate about educating consumers and colleagues about collaborative law. I will go anywhere to speak about this way of resolving disputes. I am the co-founder of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council and was the first President for 2 terms. I am honored to be on the Board of IACP and was on the Executive Board as secretary for 2004. I was co-chair of the IACP 5th Annual Networking Forum in Boston in October of 2004. |
