Dispute Resolution

Over the past decade, Phoebe has been repeatedly selected by colleagues and appointed by trial courts to facilitate cases through alternative dispute resolution (ADR). As litigation becomes increasingly costly and time‑consuming, many clients choose ADR to reach timely, practical resolutions with the help of a neutral third‑party attorney. Phoebe brings a balanced, compassionate, and results‑oriented approach to every mediation.

Her effectiveness is reflected in her track record. In some cases, she has guided the parties to resolution and coordinated with the presiding judge the same day to place the agreement on the record. In others, she has worked with the parties over multiple sessions, allowing time for research, discussion, and thoughtful negotiation before ultimately reaching a durable and fair outcome. Her commitment to listening, problem‑solving, and maintaining momentum has resulted in dozens of efficient resolutions—saving clients significant expense and sparing them the emotional toll of continued litigation.

Phoebe’s decades as a trial attorney give her a unique advantage as a facilitator. With deep knowledge of court operations and a clear understanding of how cases are likely to unfold, she can offer candid guidance on risk, timing, and strategic options. Her impartiality is strengthened by her decision to step back from active litigation, ensuring that she brings no affiliations, conflicts, or courtroom obligations into the mediation process.

Phoebe conducts mediations in her Traverse City office, which offers multiple private meeting spaces for parties and their counsel. She is also available to travel throughout Northwest Michigan—and beyond, depending on the fee arrangement.
