Business Owner

Rina Goodman, founder and principal of Transforming Conflict, LLC, has been providing alternative dispute resolution services to couples, families, and organizations since 2004. As a former trial lawyer, Rina understands the financial and personal impact litigation often has on parties. She is passionately committed to helping her clients achieve mutually satisfying solutions – even when the conflict appears to be intractable – without going to court. Prior to engaging in mediation practice, she immersed herself in mediation study and hands-​on mediation experience. She received her initial mediation training at the highly-​acclaimed Northern Virginia Mediation Service, which granted her certificates of completion in commercial and workplace mediation, and later participated in a one-​and-​a-​half year mediation practicum with the Dispute Resolution Center of King County. In 2004, she was certified by the DRC to mediate civil and family disputes and to serve as a mentor mediator.
