CINDY SCHROETEN
Since 2009, Cindy has been an employment law attorney, specializing in disability, reintegration, and workplace conflicts.
“I strive to provide my clients with the full picture. With my years of experience as an attorney, I understand where the pain points lie, which key areas I can contribute to, and how workplace dynamics function. At the same time, the human aspect is essential—because true progress is made through connection, not conflict.
That’s why I have also developed expertise in communication techniques and alternative dispute resolution. In addition to being an attorney, I am an MfN-certified mediator, a facilitator for peer review sessions, and, in my free time, a community mediator.
Engaging in dialogue, addressing emotions, and getting to the heart of the matter—where the real interests lie—is what drives me. The power of mediation lies in the fact that parties remain in control of their own resolution. There is no third party making the decision for them. They take ownership, and that allows them to move forward. As a process facilitator, I am passionate about guiding them toward a positive outcome.”
