“Mediation was useful in the way that it helped to gather all the necessary documentation.”
“John is an excellent mediator, trustworthy and very likeable, we couldn't have reached a resolution without him.”
“We went from a total impasse to facing reality, directly as a result of the kind assistance of Vicki and commend her calmness in what must have been some trying times.”
