Prior to his career as a mediator, Mr. Loeterman was General Counsel to the Fred Sands Real Estate company and its affiliates in the brokerage, title, insurance, hospitality, and radio industries. As a full-time mediator since 2001, he continues to specialize in Real Estate, Employment, Contract and Business litigation matters.
Mr. Loeterman approaches each case with meticulous preparation, a thoughtful decision-making process, and the tenacity that is critical to success, all with the goal of achieving the best possible outcome.
