Maria R. Van der Biezen

My name is Mrs. Maria R. Van der Biezen, LLM. I consider myself a seasoned lawyer and Family and Labor Mediator with over a decade of expert experience.

I work for the Public Health Inspectorate ( Inspectie Volksgezondheid Aruba) as a Lawyer. In my after work hours, and on Saturdays, I dedicate my time as a professional mediator. I am committed to achieve peaceful win-win solutions, whilst my main focus is in mediation process, active listening, non-judgmental guidance and respect for the clients’ autonomy.

My service to my clients is a one stop office. Because of my solid background in law, I facilitate all final agreements ensuring a fair and satisfactory resolution for all parties involved.

I am also committed to keep updating my skills and knowledge, networking, providing insightful testimonials so I can deliver the best I can and to keep on promoting harmony in every mediation process.

I am a very passionate volunteer. For the last 25 years I did volunteer work for the Aruba Child Helpline and in the last 6 years I was the secretary of the board. I also sat in the Appeal Commission for labor conflicts between EPI (high school) and its employees. For the last three years I have been a member of the general board of The Caribbean Research Foundation.

I am the mother of one son and am a youthful grandmother of 3 grandchildren.

I love to Zumba, hike, swim and eat healthy. One of my biggest achievements was walking 300 km in 16 days in May 2023. This was part of the “Camino Portugues” from Oporto Portugal to Santiago de Compostela Spain.

All conflicts can be resolved with the right attitude!
