Mediation Coaching
Not every case needs a courtroom battle — some need the right strategy.
In high-stakes immigration litigation, knowing when and how to negotiate can make all the difference. Mediation Coaching from Ozlem Barnard helps you turn stalled cases into meaningful resolutions that protect your client’s interests and your firm’s credibility.
As a trained mediator and former DOJ/DHS trial attorney, Ozlem understands how the government thinks, negotiates, and settles. Her approach blends strategic clarity with calm, confident advocacy — helping you navigate mediation with purpose.
