At DBM Mediation and Resolution Services, LLC, our expertise is built on a foundation of federal law enforcement experience, advanced investigative skill, and more than two decades of professional conflict‑resolution work.
Our background sets us apart from traditional mediators. As a former federal agent with the Department of Homeland Security and the owner of a successful investigative firm for over 10 years, we bring a level of insight, precision, and credibility that few mediation practices can offer.
We also hold a UC Davis Certification in Mediation and Conflict Resolution, are federally trained in conflict‑resolution practices, and are certified and trained in the John E. Reid Technique for mediation, negotiation, and structured interviewing. This combination of academic, federal, and specialised training ensures that our methods meet professional, court‑approved, and industry-recognised standards.
We specialise in understanding complex situations — whether emotional, financial, or legal — and guiding clients toward clear, informed, and fair resolutions. Our expertise includes:
Divorce & Family Mediation
Skilled in high‑conflict cases, parenting plans, custody matters, and financial transparency.
Civil & Business Disputes
Experience resolving contract issues, workplace conflicts, partnership disagreements, and commercial matters.
Probate & Estate Mediation
Ability to navigate multi‑party disputes, inheritance disagreements, and asset‑related conflicts.
Investigative Insight
Optional services such as background checks, financial‑asset reviews, due diligence reporting, and fraud assessments provide clients with clarity and confidence throughout the mediation process.
Fact‑Driven Neutrality
Our investigative background enables us to quickly identify key issues, evaluate information objectively, and maintain a calm, structured environment for productive dialogue.
This combination of formal mediation training, federal conflict‑resolution expertise, Reid‑Technique negotiation skills, and investigative proficiency allows us to deliver resolutions that are not only fair but fully informed.
