Nancy (Nan) Larson: I believe that informed self-determined dispute resolution is far superior to a court-mandated resolution. I began mediating after an executive career which taught me that listening and being heard brought about the best outcomes. We all have the opportunity to create a better future for our families, our businesses and ourselves through peaceful dispute resolution. I am an attorney admitted to the California bar; I have a master’s degree in Business Administration and a bachelor’s degree in Medical Technology. I have expertise in divorce and custody mediation, and experience with contracts, commercial, small claims and probate. “The best way to predict your future is to create it.”—Abraham Lincoln
