Areas of Practice
As mediators there are few
regulations governing the types of case we can handle, other than the
limitations imposed by law in specific jurisdictions. Kedleston
Conflict Management LLC (KCM) does not restrict its practice of
mediation but does have recognized areas of specialty:
Special Education Margaret Unger
has been mediating for many years in the area of Special Education.
Parents, educators and their advocates and attorneys benefit from her
experience and understanding of the emotions and complexity of the
issues.
Juvenile Justice As a Magistrate/Justice of the
Peace in the United Kingdom and with significant experience as a
Mediator with the Juvenile Court in the United States, Ms Unger brings
a unique perspective to this area of mediation. Understanding the
constraints of the justice system and the flexibility of mediation she
is well equipped to help resolve difficult and sensitive situations
involving juveniles and their families.
Bio-Medical Ethics The rapid changes in
the areas of science and medicine have brought many complex issues to
the forefront. Margaret Unger's background and training certification
in the emerging areas of Bioethical, Health and Eldercare Mediation
distinguishes her from most mediators in this country. Ms Unger
understands the importance and significance of cultural differences in
End-of-Life decision making and has extensive and practical
knowledge of the rituals surrounding Jewish burial.
"I have taught classes
onsite and online through the Institute for Advanced Dispute
Resolution since 2007. Ms. Unger was a student of mine from
March through June 2010. She was enrolled in our Health & Elder
Care self-paced study program and was one of the finest students
I have ever worked with. Not only does Ms. Unger have a passion
for the mediation process but she also possesses what appears to
be a natural instinct for assessing human interaction."

Elder Issues
Medical science has dramatically
extended the lifespan of the average individual. With that extension
has come a myriad of decisions facing us on a daily basis – both as
individuals, family members and medical professionals. From moving to
assisted living and estate division, to critical end- of -life
decisions related to a loved one, issues arise which are both deeply
emotional and life changing for everyone involved. Kedleston Conflict
Management helps individuals and their families to work
collaboratively through the practical and intensely emotional issues
in order that they are able to make decisions that all feel able to
support.
