Attorney mediator, Scott Goering asks Alice to explore where mediation and negotiation differ.
Scott has been a member the California Bar for 19 years. He’s a State Bar certified Child Welfare Law Specialist. He ventured into the world of mediation back in 2012 when he realized a life time of trial practice would also necessarily shorten said life time. San Francisco has been his home for 33 years, where he worked in various non-profits before heading to law school.
With experience in family, juvenile, and real property law, Scott feels equally adept at advocating for clients or finding common ground for all involved.
Because life works better with good discussions, and the carnage created by court trials often detracts from the end product, even if you 'win'. Winning at trial can feel like a victory, but it can also be a bit like winning a pie-eating contest – you might have a trophy, but you may not enjoy dessert that much.
Law practice allows Scott to get to the bottom line pretty quickly in most conflicts. Mediation practice allows him to help other participants to come to the same conclusion on their own.
