Comments from Counsel, Jurors, & PartiesI was glad that we were able to get it resolved and appreciate your practical and professional effort and your patience in that regard. I appreciated your efforts and service as a judge and the respect grows equally great as a mediator. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with you again and hope that we can.

Lawyer: “I look forward to working with you again on any future mediation needs and otherwise hope our paths cross again. Be assured I’ll be recommending you enthusiastically to others.”
Client: “Thank you for your invaluable, expert assistance in bringing this nightmare to an end. Early in the day, you had said that litigation "saps one's psychic energy." It was a curious thing to me and only since Thursday, have I realized the truth of your words, as my mind has been set free to focus on my and my family's future. And the sense of emotional relief has been surprising.” [7 figure complex business dispute]
My client and I very much appreciate your wisdom, your legal expertise, and your patience in the way you facilitated settlement among several parties after many hours of mediation. I heard other parties expressing appreciation for you, too. It was a difficult mix of disputes. You succeeded in helping all involved to close the litigation peacefully with benefits for each of the parties. [Complex 7 figure probate matter]
I just wanted to follow-up with you and say, thank you. Due to the nature of my practice, I’ve participated in hundreds of mediations over the past 16 years. I’ve regularly used some of the best mediators in this state and mediators out of state and various mediators appointed by government agencies. I know this was a small case but the emotions were high and you did your job at a level I have rarely seen. So, thank you. A job well done!
We thank you for your professionalism, counsel, and compassionate understanding. The case would not have settled as it did . . . without your help. [7 figure employment claim]
I really appreciate your working so hard to get these parties together. It was truly above and beyond. Our office has had this case a long time and we are all very pleased to have the major issues resolved.
My client appreciated the way you handled this case—a matter which has been extremely painful for him. But for you efforts, and influence, I believe this matter would not have settled, and my client would have been in a much worse position. I don't think any resolution would have been reached without your expertise and kindness. [8 figure estate matter]
Thank you again for your Herculean efforts in a uniquely difficult matter. I did not think it would happen. If you need a mediation referral, I would be happy to serve as one. I also appreciate your kind words and your overall demeanor. You did a lot to help us keep [our client] cool, calm, and collected. [8 figure top-management employment dispute]
Judge, thanks for your help. I appreciate your concern and your insight. An agreement would not have been reached without your involvement.
Thank you very much for your efforts last week. You did a masterful job at navigating through some strong emotions and non-economic considerations to bring us to a settlement I thought unlikely. I greatly appreciate your continued efforts and patience throughout the day and into the evening. I have shared my positive experience with others here at my firm and do and will whole-heartedly recommend you to others. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
