WHO WE ARE
We met our first year in our PhD Conflict Analysis and Resolution program at Nova Southeastern University. After years of teamwork in an academic setting, we decided to partner up to bring you CALM Dispute Firm, as our invaluable education and experience from the program provided us the opportunity to live out our dreams of helping parties overcome their disputes and live peacefully, one session at a time.
