At PowerHouse Mediation, we are redefining alternative dispute resolution by delivering innovative, results-driven mediation and arbitration services. Our team of forward-thinking neutrals—including retired judges and seasoned attorneys—combines deep legal insight with modern tools and thoughtful process design to create a resolution experience that is efficient, respectful, and effective.
We serve clients across Minnesota and nationwide, guiding complex disputes with clarity, credibility, and care.
PowerHouse Mediation was created intentionally—not as a volume-driven platform, but as a place where experience, preparation, and professionalism truly matter.
After years as a trial lawyer and mediator, I saw a consistent gap in dispute resolution. Too often, mediation was treated as a box to check rather than a process that deserved thoughtful design, skilled neutrals, and real preparation. Lawyers were frustrated. Clients were overwhelmed. And opportunities for meaningful resolution were being missed.
I built PowerHouse Mediation to change that.
PowerHouse is grounded in the belief that effective resolution comes from credibility and trust. That means mediators who understand litigation from the inside out. It means respecting the work attorneys put into their cases. It means creating processes that are flexible, efficient, and human-centered—whether a case is handled in person or online.
Equally important, PowerHouse Mediation is designed to support both civil and family law disputes with intention. These cases require different dynamics, sensitivities, and communication styles. Our approach reflects that reality. We meet cases where they are, while holding space for clarity, progress, and forward movement.
At its core, PowerHouse Mediation is about strength—not force. Strength through preparation. Strength through calm. Strength through experience. We do not rush resolution, but we respect time. We do not impose outcomes, but we guide productive conversation. And we never lose sight of the people behind the dispute.
That philosophy shapes every mediator we bring onto the PowerHouse platform and every case we accept. PowerHouse is not just a name—it is a standard.
PowerHouse Mediation was built on the belief that resolution is strongest when experience, preparation, and communication work together.

We listen carefully, prepare thoroughly, and respond to the real dynamics of each case.
Perspective beyond process
From complex commercial disputes to emotionally charged family matters and arbitration or special master work, we offer more than process — we offer judgment and insight.
Calm leadership when it matters most
Deep legal knowledge, steady guidance, and a commitment to principled outcomes.
Minnesota roots. National reach.
Serving lawyers, courts, businesses, and families across the U.S., in person and virtually.
Strength, structure, and heart — at the table
If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.
At PowerHouse Mediation, we believe that resolution is not weakness — it’s wisdom. Conflict is inevitable. Chaos is not. Our role is to bring structure, clarity, and calm to moments that often feel overwhelming, so people can move forward with confidence and dignity.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every dispute carries its own history, dynamics, and human realities. That’s why our approach is intentionally thoughtful and adaptive — grounded in preparation, guided by experience, and responsive to what is actually happening at the table.
Our neutrals do more than facilitate conversations. They lead with legal insight, human understanding, and strategic judgment, helping parties navigate difficult issues without losing sight of what matters most. We believe people deserve a process that is not only efficient, but also respectful, transparent, and outcome-focused.
Whether working through complex civil disputes or deeply personal family matters, we approach every case with the same core commitments:
integrity in process, clarity in communication, and steadiness in conflict.
