Atlanta, GA personal injury attorney Lyle Griffin Warshauer talks about how her work as a trial lawyer prepared her to be a mediator. She mentions that she first obtained certification as a mediator in 2001 but had limited opportunities to practice due to heavy caseloads and other professional commitments. She renewed her certification in 2021 and is now actively engaged in mediation. Her partner, Bill Atkins, is also a certified mediator.

She emphasizes that in litigation, understanding the system, assessing risks, and evaluating potential benefits are critical. Her extensive experience with motion practice, trial dynamics, and familiarity with various venues and judges informs her strategic approach. Drawing on this knowledge, she assists clients in mediation by helping them understand these factors and guiding them toward a more certain and amicable resolution of their cases.
