Retaining a Mediator
One of the critical considerations in successfully resolving disputes is the selection of the mediator.
Jeff has achieved a high rate of settlement in over a thousand mediated cases, resolving about 4 out of 5 cases.
He has the key qualities required in a mediator, including broad-ranging experience, ability to understand complex issues, persistence, problem-solving ability, trustworthiness, and strong inter-personal skills.
By taking an active role in assessing and considering the parties’ positions and interests, Jeff is both challenging and respectful. He is adept at bringing litigants and parties with divergent points of view together -- yet remains neutral and unbiased.
