Tara Fappiano: experienced litigator gains new mediation perspective

Tara is an experienced litigator, based in White Plains, NY. When we spoke, Tara had recently completed mediation training with Brad Heckman and Christine Daly at the New York Peace Institute. https://nypeace.org/ The Institute is a respected provider of mediation training and conflict resolution services, based in NYC. Although Tara has frequently represented clients in mediations where she serves as their advocate, this training provided a new perspective for her -- and a new view on conflict. Tara compares this type of mediation to the type she has known as a defense attorney, and the difference between serving as an advocate and serving as a neutral third-party. We also discussed her interest in special education and advocating for persons with disabilities. You can reach Tara through LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarafappiano/
