Our background allows us to approach every case with clarity, neutrality, and a deep understanding of both the human and factual elements involved in disputes.

Founder & Lead Mediator Former Federal Agent | Investigator | Conflict‑Resolution Specialist

Our practice is guided by a former federal agent with the Department of Homeland Security and more than 20 years of investigative and problem‑solving experience. After operating a successful private investigation firm for over a decade, our founder expanded into mediation to provide clients with a more efficient, respectful, and cost‑effective alternative to litigation.

This unique background allows us to offer:

• A calm, structured approach to conflict
• Advanced skill in analyzing financial and factual issues
• Experience handling high‑conflict and high‑asset cases
• Professional neutrality grounded in real‑world investigative work
• A deep understanding of human behavior and communication

While mediation is conducted by our lead professional, DBM Mediation and Resolution Services, LLC maintains a trusted network of:

• Family law professionals
• Financial specialists
• Mental‑health and parenting consultants
• Probate and estate advisors

These resources allow us to support clients with comprehensive guidance when needed, while keeping the mediation process neutral and efficient.

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:

Skilled in high‑conflict cases, parenting plans, custody matters, and financial transparency.

Experience resolving contract issues, workplace conflicts, partnership disagreements, and commercial matters.

Ability to navigate multi‑party disputes, inheritance disagreements, and asset‑related conflicts.

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.

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.
