Decks etc. He feels it is critical to have a neutral who understands the
subject matter in construction disputes especially when a party(ies) utilize
experts to testify on their behalf. He has handled many construction
disputes since 2003.
Joe is very skilled in dispute resolution because he is a
“people/personality expert”. His life experience combined with coach
training gives him the ability to work with the personality issues which
invariably have a major effect in the process of dispute settlement. Joe
understands that many times a dispute is driven by personality traits along
with the “matter at hand”. He is a very thorough, fair, and judicious
arbitrator and believes honor and integrity is first and foremost when
adjudicating a matter. He is able to facilitate mediations expeditiously and
fairly because he is skilled at diffusing an adversarial environment as he
helps the parties communicate while managing emotions and keeping the issue
from becoming personal.
