Testimonials from Past Mediation Clients

Due to the confidential nature of mediation, some personal details have been redacted from the testimonials. Instead, I’ve indicated whether the feedback comes from a party, lawyer, or other participant in the mediation process.

"I appreciated your professionalism and honesty. Every step of the way I was informed of what would happen next. It was great to have the 'pre' mediation meeting. That really helped with my nerves. Meeting you one on one was a relief. I felt you explained everything to me in my language. You were approachable, kind and understanding. I was grateful for your experience and patience. At the same time you kept the mediation moving forward, I felt it went very quickly. You checked in on me regularly, asking if I was ok, did I need a break. All questions were directed to me, you made me feel like this was about me and that I was important."
"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your guidance and dedication throughout the mediation process. Thanks to your expertise, patience, and ability to navigate complex discussions, I was able to achieve the property settlement I had been seeking. Your professionalism and fairness created an atmosphere where everyone felt heard, and your ability to find common ground truly made a difference. I deeply appreciate the time and effort you put into understanding my concerns and priorities. You handled each step of the process with great care and empathy, which gave me the confidence to trust the outcome. It’s not often one encounters someone so skilled at balancing the human and technical sides of a situation, and I feel fortunate to have had you as a mediator. Thank you again for your role in this outcome and for helping me move forward with a sense of closure and peace."
"Thank you for taking the time to facilitate our mediation session. I greatly appreciate your dedication in guiding us through the process. Our initial contact was particularly beneficial as it provided me with clear guidelines and realistic expectations about the mediation journey. It set the foundation for a constructive dialogue and helped me prepare effectively for the session. I found the pre-mediation notes especially valuable. Your ability to approach the situation from a neutral, third-party perspective allowed me to focus on the facts and gain a clearer understanding of the key issues."
"I felt the mediation process was well conducted, respectful and considerate of each party’s situation. I thought you did a great job of being neutral and also understanding of everyone’s positions.I found the process to be comfortable and I thank you for your assistance in helping to get the matter solved."
"Thank you so much for your advice and guidance on the mediation in an area that I am happily green.You provided me with clear insight in understanding the repercussions of taking each path prior to me walking it and for that I appreciate you.So thank you for gently steering Nina [my partner] & I away from more heart ache and financial loss."
"It was fantastic to work with you in this mediation. I really like your approach and the preparation and time you put in with the clients beforehand. The information you provide kind of sets the tone and a bit about expectations so we are not too side-tracked with some of the basics (which I feel can happen no matter how much work you put into the advice you give sometimes).I found that you engaging with clients earlier in the piece makes for an is efficient use of time on the day. Although my client was very keen to acquiesce and be conciliatory which made things very easy, I think that he felt heard and understood by you which is obviously a great way to build trust and rapport before the mediation."
"The client, passed on to me that he felt very comfortable and relaxed during the mediation thanks to your guidance and is very happy with the result which was reached.I appreciated your approach today and found it very effective. I hope to work with you again soon!"
"The pre-mediation, I found to be extremely helpful. After listening to you, it made me think differently about staying in the house, which lead to us having a discussion around whether purchase him a townhouse or villa, which ultimately would place me in a better position as I age. I was able to have this discussion prior to the mediation which I believe enabled the matter to be settled.    Thank you for opening my eyes to look at the settlement option through different lenses."

What is Dispute Resolution?

Dispute resolution is not an adversarial or combative process. Dispute resolution is about compromise. In fact, the term “mediation” is derived from the Latin verb mediāre, meaning “to be in the middle”. Dispute resolution is about finding mutually acceptable and “liveable” outcomes, not winners and losers.
Dispute resolution is not about each party advocating for what they want or believe they are entitled to. It is about finding solutions that satisfactorily address everybody’s needs and interests and allow everybody to move on and heal.
