Lynn Andretta Profile
Mediation Experience & Profile
In the mid-eighties I opened a solo pratice which continues to date. I have mediated or arbitrated several hundred cases in that time, beginning pro bono for the DC Superior Court and the Better Business Bureau. These primarily involved workplace disputes and various forms of employment discrimination, family and alternative (gay) family law, landlord/tenant disputes and small business/contractor/consumer claims.
