Tricia serves on the AAA's National Roster of Arbitrators, with an emphasis on commercial disputes. She spent much of her early career immersed in arbitration — as a student clerking for a California arbitrator, and as a New York labor lawyer in the collective bargaining context. Upon moving to Arizona, Tricia's practice shifted to commercial panels.

Tricia has long preferred the efficiency of a properly-managed arbitration to the unpredictability and delay often associated with litigation. From the preliminary scheduling conference through the award, Tricia is scrupulous about procedural integrity and ensuring that the parties' contractual expectations about the process are met. Threshold procedural issues are promptly resolved, any discovery is limited and focused, and the case stays on track, culminating in a durable award.
