He began his legal career in 1976 as a workers comp and insurance defense litigator. In 1998, Jack completed his training to become a certified mediator in South Carolina. Thereafter, he and several attorneys from the Greenville, South Carolina area designed a mediation model for the county which was later adopted as the statewide procedure. He has conducted over 1000 mediations covering a variety of legal issues using his extensive knowledge of the law and diplomatic skills. As Jack says, trusting in the process is the key, because "mediation is not for quitters."
