Mediator

Jacob

My name is Jacob, and I bring over ten years of experience in professional mediation-related fields to your dispute. I have a background in family and marriage counseling, employee dispute resolution, and long-term care dispute resolution. I also have a professional background in spiritual counseling and pastoral care, human resources, and administrative leadership in the healthcare industry. Having experienced family, employee, and customer disputes firsthand, I am committed to facilitating constructive dialogue and fostering resolutions.

Throughout my career, I have developed extensive expertise in family mediation, where I assist families in resolving sensitive matters such as divorce, child custody, and property division. My empathetic approach helps clients communicate effectively, ensuring that all voices are heard and respected.

In addition to family matters, I have successfully mediated a wide range of employee disputes, promoting a harmonious work environment by addressing conflicts between coworkers or between employees and management. I believe transparent communication and mutual understanding are key to resolving workplace issues, and I work collaboratively with all parties to craft solutions that are beneficial and sustainable.

As a certified court mediator, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of facilitating resolutions that empower individuals and organizations to move forward positively. I am dedicated to providing a safe, confidential, and respectful space for all participants — whether we meet in my Galesburg office or connect remotely via secure video — guiding them to find common ground and achieve lasting outcomes.

I invite you to contact me to learn more about how I can assist you in achieving a constructive resolution to your dispute. Together, we can work toward a collaborative path forward.
