"I never thought this 3 party
construction case would get settled. Difficult parties, a
lot of emotions, and competing interests. Mel, your, calm,
cool, problem solving approach, and your persistence in
making sure the settlement got completed, is among the best
I have witnessed from a mediator. I greatly appreciated your
effort, but most importantly, my client ended-up
appreciating your effort and the outcome."
