"Excellent effort with a keen focus on a fair resolution. This case probably would not have settled without Mr. Berlin’s extraordinary effort."

— Gregg Strumwasser, Esq. 12/02

"Mr. Berlin was good at obtaining compromises from both parties so that the case could settle."

— Kent C. Gardner, Esq. 11/02

"I told my client not to expect settlement at mediation as it generally does not resolve at least at the initial conference. After three hours of intense effort, a settlement was reached. Mr. Berlin related to my client well."

— Donald Rich, Esq. 4/03

"Thanks go to Mr. Berlin’s efforts in settling a case which otherwise seemed ‘un-settleable’. His facilitative style can be credited for this success. I appreciate his commitment to the process."

— Karen J. Bernard, Esq. 4/03

"It was a pleasure having Mr. Berlin mediate this matter. He were very professional and courteous throughout the mediation process. It was refreshing to see a mediator who is willing to take the time necessary to mediate cases, especially when done on a voluntary basis."

— R. Gary Seaman, Esq. 4/03

"Extreme hard work in attempting to achieve settlement. Technique applied was helpful in placing both sides in a position to better achieve settlement as the case progresses."

— David Daar, Esq. 7/03

"In my experience, Mr. Berlin is the best mediator I have ever met. It is not a compliment — it is a fair comparison. None of the mediators I have dealt with spent so much effort and demonstrated such skills to get things done."

— Vladimir A. Bogorad, Esq. 8/03

"This matter would not have settled but for Mr. Berlin’s patience. In the beginning counsel had no intention of making a reasonable offer. With Mr. Berlin’s creative suggestions we were able to resolve a difficult matter almost painlessly."

— Julie S. Gerard, Esq. 9/03

"Prior to the mediation I had no meaningful settlement discussions with counsel for one of the responsible parties. Mr. Berlin was able to break all obstacles and effect a full resolution. In addition to his exemplary mediation skills, Mr. Berlin demonstrated an exceptional knowledge of the pertinent legal issues, which prevented an earlier resolution. Without Mr. Berlin’s efforts, a resolution would not have been reached at this time. He performed an outstanding service for all concerned parties and the Court. I highly recommend, and I would be honored to have Mr. Berlin act as a mediator in the future."

— Eliot B. Guterson, Esq. 10/02
