Margaret M Crowley Esq. will be speaking with us on The Impact of Conflict on Your Brain.

Margaret has been licensed to practice law in Nevada since 1991.  For over 15 years, Margaret served as a Civil Deputy District Attorney for Washoe County (Reno), Nevada.  During that time, she practiced in multiple areas, including labor/employment law, contract law, litigation and administrative law, and in multiple settings such as mediations, arbitrations, administrative hearings and state and federal courts.  Margaret has extensive training and experience as a mediator, enabling her to use her expertise in conflict resolution to help people define and resolve issues.

Margaret holds degrees from the University of Nevada, Reno (B.A. Literature, with distinction) and the University of California, Davis, School of Law (Juris Doctorate).

"After many years of practicing law in areas such as contracts, human resources and litigation, I have now become a mediator. I am utilizing my expertise in conflict resolution to assist parties in settling disputes outside the courtroom thorugh mediation and arbitration. I believe that mediation especially is a better method for resolving disputes than using the traditional legal model. Although arbitration is more like conventional dipute resolution, it allows for a much faster result than using the court system."
