Mediation Services in Chicago 
David has been a professional mediator for 11 years. He serves clients in the Chicago area, where he relocated from upstate New York with his family in 2016 and established Louis Mediation Services. He has been a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst since 2013. 
 
As he was in New York, David is strongly credentialed in Chicago—as a fellow with the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, on the volunteer council of the Center for Conflict Resolution, and a member of the Associate for Conflict Resolution (national and Chicago chapters), the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts and the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. David extends his training regularly through continuing education seminars and study.

A history of expertise in finance and community
​
David worked in finance for over 30 years, completing his first career as chief financial officer for an organization with a $100 million annual budget. David also served as an elected public official with a reputation as a consensus builder. At age 50, thinking about next steps in his career, he chose mediation.


“Two things attracted me: While I had worked as a decision-maker in finance, I liked the freedom of mediation, where I don’t make the decisions—my clients do. I was also attracted to the field as a future-focused planning process. I enjoy working with people, helping them to think about how to move forward from where they are now.” —David
