Specialization:
Oksana is fascinated by how we address conflict. Oksana understands how important it is to work through cultural differences at the early stages of a dispute.
Conflict exists in any field and at any level of our lives, which is why we are rarely prepared to address it correctly. This can lead to significant emotional and financial burdens for lengthy periods of time.
Whether it be a breach of contract, an insurance claim, divorce and/or property division, or child custody, Oksana is here to accompany you through the process and help to get the best deal with the least amount of stress.
Based on her extensive experience in the field of conflict resolution and mediation, Oksana believes that the client is the owner and decision maker of their claim and only they can decide whether to settle or not. While settlement is always a better deal than a legal procedure, it's ultimately her client's decision whether to settle or not.
