She has successfully provided mediation services to residents of Los Angeles through The California Academy of Mediation Professionals-CAMP and through CCR, Center for Conflict Resolution. Her multi-cultural background, her ability to speak Spanish and her varied career experience is indicative of her ability to build bridges and bring diverse groups of people together in a positive way.

Areas of practice include: employment conflicts, landlord/tenant disputes, unlawful detainer, civil harassment, small claims and special education. Gayle recently became a state of CA Certified Mediator through MC3, the gold standard for mediators. In addition, she is now a mediator for the Mediation Center of Los Angeles.
Ms. Glazer retired after a thirty-two-year distinguished career in the Los Angeles Unified School District, first as a teacher, then as a Special Education Consultant and finally as an administrator in Human Resources. She has transitioned the many skills she learned during her career into mediation.

During those difficult years, she honed her active listening skills and her ability to refocus and reframe the conversation leading to positive outcomes. She is a skilled negotiator, who helps the disputants reach agreement by examining all available options.

A mediator is an impartial third party who empowers the parties to reach their own settlement agreements. There is no judge who makes a ruling where one party wins and the other loses. Instead, mediation is a win-win process. Mediation is a practical alternative to litigation. It's faster, less expensive, and the parties are in control.
