| What
Others Say About His Skills |
|
"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." |
