Effective mediation requires more than knowing the law. It requires the ability to listen carefully, identify the interests underlying a dispute, communicate clearly, and help people move from entrenched positions toward practical solutions.
Candace Love Windel brings substantial legal experience in complex commercial and real estate matters, including construction and public-sector disputes, to her mediation practice. She also holds a Master’s Degree in Communication and teaches mediation in a graduate university program, experiences that complement her legal training and inform her approach to mediation. Her understanding of how people communicate—particularly when they are under stress or in conflict—supports her ability to help parties engage in productive conversations and work toward meaningful resolution.
Her approach to mediation combines careful preparation, thoughtful listening, practical problem-solving, and an understanding of both the legal and human dimensions of a dispute. She seeks not simply to facilitate a conversation, but to help parties understand the issues, evaluate their options, and find a resolution they can live with.
She mediates in person, remotely, and in hybrid settings.
