TESTIMONIALS:
“I have used Shaun as the mediator on several of my cases. Shaun is attentive, personable, detailed, practical, and focused on resolution. Shaun listened to both sides, actively sought to understand our positions, and worked with us to highlight the key is sues preventing settlement. He then provided us with well thought out recommendations on how to resolve those issues. His work wasa key factor to our cases settling, and both opposing counsel and I appreciated his hard work to help get us across the finish line. Shaun is a pleasure to work with, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.”
