My Mission
I strongly believe that we all wish to have a life where we and the people around us can thrive, but not always we can avoid conflict. Relational disputes whether within the family, the workplace or among neighbours and friends are a natural part of our life.
However, we often do not release that conflict is a result of miscommunication. Prolonged conflict causes a lot of unnecessary suffering and results in our inability to communicate effectively as we start to operate from the mindsets of the war generals rather than the peacemakers.
Therefore, my life mission is to assist the parties to sort out their conflicts outside the courtroom and prevent them from losing their life savings for extremely expensive, stressful, and time-consuming lawsuits.
I hope to help my clients restore their life balance, preserve their health, and allow them to heal and rebuild their confidence to start a new chapter in their life.
