Danielle specializes in complex business and commercial matters, employment disputes, personal injury and wrongful death claims. Drawing from over 15 years of civil litigation experience on both the plaintiff’s and defendant’s side, Danielle understands the importance of hearing, analyzing and following a logical course based on the facts, issues and applicable law. Danielle started her mediation practice in 2010 and has since mediated approximately 4000 cases in a variety of practice areas including, but not limited to, personal injury, insurance, commercial, construction, employment, real estate, business disputes, medical and professional liability. Danielle is very involved in the ADR community, serving actively with the ADR chapters of the Houston Bar and Texas Bar associations, she actively speaks at CLEs, and she remains involved in the Association of Attorney-Mediators.

Known for her ability to find professional, creative and innovative solutions to conflicts, Danielle goes beyond simply trying to help the parties reach a mutually agreeable “settlement number” and instead, seeks to find ways to uncover hidden value for both parties and salvage relationships where possible. Danielle’s approach to mediation sessions is to talk candidly with the parties and their attorneys regarding the strengths and weaknesses of their respective cases and what they might expect if settlement is not reached. She is more than just a ‘messenger’ of numbers; Danielle works hard to find professional, creative and innovative solutions to conflicts. Danielle has been remarkably successful in resolving a wide range of disputes; several of her mediations were resolved between the parties prior to the filing of a lawsuit, and nearly all post-litigation disputes that she mediated were resolved prior to trial. Danielle has earned her position as a highly respected mediator, and she continues to be a preferred mediator by both the plaintiff and defense bars.
