About

I love helping families who are facing very real and challenging conflicts. They want to move forward with their lives, and mediating their conflicts helps them do so. My favorite part of my job is that it is a child-first approach to resolving family conflict. Exposure to parental conflict is the number one predictor of bad outcomes for children. Mediation creates a forum for parents to resolve their differences in a safe forum, and develop better communication skills. This ultimately leads to better lives and stability for the children.

My wife and I found ourselves locked into disagreements ranging from parenting schedule to providing racial balance for our bi-racial children to school district choices to responsibilities of childrens items, such as a special blanket, to child support and asset division; nothing was off limits and the longer the divorce prolonged, the more misunderstanding, lack of trust and animosity grew between us. Ben was a voice of reason and compassion, that time and time again reeled us back to a place where the possibility of good will between two opposing forces took root to resolution. Bens approach is disarming but he challenges each party to look at the integrity hidden beneath the hurt, to honor, recognize and answer, What is fair?

He was extremely knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, and pleasant to work with. He went out of his way to make himself available/accessible, and was generous with his time. I look forward to having an ongoing working relationship with him.

As a recently retired Probate and Family Court judge (after serving 23 years on the bench) I have rarely found an individual as skilled as Ben in working with High Conflict families (the parents, and the children). He is smart, funny, kind, direct, compassionate, and gets right to the point. I have seen him make tremendous progress with some of the most troubled and stuck parents that I work with. Equally impressive is his ability to help parents (even those who do not get along at all) improve their parenting of difficult teenagers. I have referred families to Ben in a steady stream, and I will continue to do so. His talent is really quite special.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I regularly participate in continuing education programs to stay current on family legal issues, mediation skills, and family dynamics and child development. I also subscribe to monthly journals and several publications, and am part of a peer consultation group.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
As you determine who you should use I encourage you to take advantage of any offer of a free consultation. This will help you gauge the mediator's skills and knowledge, but more importantly, the fit between the mediator and you. Mediation involves discussing personal and difficult topics. It is important for all the parties engaging in the mediation to feel comfortable with the mediator, and trust they will provide a fair and neutral process.
