About Kazen Mediation

I have been a practicing attorney for approximately 50 years. As a young lawyer I had the wonderful opportunity to work as a Legal Services attorney and bring cases in Federal Court that empowered the powerless. I have served as an adjunct professor of law at the University of Texas Law School and Baylor University Law School.

I have written and lectured extensively, practiced family law, and raised four children. I have seen the pain and devastation that comes with the inevitable conflicts in our society. I have seen the judicial system become overloaded, litigation costs soar, and children suffer.

I want to spend the rest of my life helping people resolve conflicts in an honorable, kind way, with dignity and respect. I believe that the hope of a better future for our society is to resolve issues through Alternative Dispute Resolution, including Mediation and Settlement Facilitation.
