ABOUT GABRIELLE

While I’ve spent over two decades working as a divorce attorney and mediator, my special sauce is my ability to resolve the unsolvable conflict. Through working with polarized individuals, families, and professional organizations, I know first hand that there’s always a productive way forward, even when the situation may feel impossible.  When I grew up, my parents used lawyers and mediators to effectively resolve their divorce and they even created a shared parenting plan which was cutting edge at that time. I began my career as a court attorney in New York City where I helped resolve hundreds of high conflict divorce cases incorporating the problem solving skills I learned both in school and at home.

I resolve 99% of my cases at the mediation table keeping families out of court on a daily basis. Yet, I realize sometimes court is necessary.  That’s why I carefully vet each and every case before diving into mediation–this is why also I am of counsel to a major litigation firm in NYC and Westchester for cases where judicial intervention is necessary.

In addition to mediating, speaking and writing, I am co-chair to The American Bar Association Mediation Committee.
