Steve used his experience and evaluative skills to hone in immediately on the important issues. Steve demonstrated a skill set that most veteran settlement judges lack, and impressed a very skeptical attorney who does not impress easily.

The secret to Steve's success is his ability to balance experience, empathy and intellectual acuity. He reaches both the attorneys and litigants on the level relevant to each. The institutional client respects his command of the facts, law, and risk assessment, filtered through his extensive litigation experience. The Plaintiff appreciates his understanding of the emotional implications of the case, and his ability to reach them on a meaningful level. Finally, the attorneys respect that Steve was "in the trenches" for many years, and can speak to them in their language. This combination makes him a tremendously effective mediator and one I recommend without hesitation.
