Mediator & Trainer
Hannah is an attorney turned mediator who uses her passion and experience with client-centered representation to provide individualized mediation services. After studying at Harvard Law School and working as a litigator, Hannah saw that in addition to being time-consuming and expensive, litigation rarely gave parties an opportunity to have a meaningful say in their disputes. She began practicing mediation as a way to offer people a more empowering way to address their conflicts. She has received extensive training in multiple modalities of mediation, and advanced training in family, matrimonial, custody & visitation, and elder mediation. She is also ISCT certified and Part 146 approved.
In addition to her work with Haas Mediation, she trains mediators, teaches mediation at Hofstra Law School, and mediates for the CCRB. She is also a member of multiple NY court mediation rosters.
She is a member of the NYC Bar Association Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee and the NY State Council on Divorce Mediation.
