Handling dispute in animal industry can be frustrating, painful, and costly. Debra Hamilton, of Hamilton Law and Mediation, is dedicated to supporting individuals passionate about animal welfare and those working in the animal industry. Her focus is all about finding peaceful resolutions, recognizing that pets are more than just property—they’re cherished members of the family.

Hamilton offers mediation and conflict coaching services, providing a constructive space for sorting out disagreements related to animals. She believes in creating a safe and respectful environment where everyone can speak their mind without fear.

She emphasizes the importance of moving away from knee-jerk reactions and toward working together to solve problems. Hamilton understands how conflicts can make you feel frustrated and ignored, so she focuses on building trust and empathy among all parties involved.

Stop talking and listen, Drop the need to be right, and let what they’re saying Roll off your back because you’re not in their shoes. Liking raging conflict to a fire, her “Stop Drop and Roll” approach is all about taking a step back, letting go of the need to be right, and being open to different perspectives. By doing this, Hamilton believes conflicts can turn into opportunities for growth and understanding.

If you are in need of conflict resolution, connect with Hamilton Law and Mediation.
