"Your fine blend of facilitative and evaluative mediation worked well in resolving this case."

"Mr. Palmer was very helpful and maintained a neutral posture."

"Outstanding job."

"Mr. Palmer is a great mediator. I highly recommend him."

"He worked his ____off."

"Mr. Palmer was an excellent mediator. Had a good understanding of the situation."

"I give high marks to the mediator’s style and effectiveness. It is likely that without them, settlement would not have been achieved."

"He’s excellent."

"Mr. Palmer was very effective in dealing with an uncooperative party."

"Did a great job." 

"I liked the fact that the mediator allowed the plaintiff to tell her side, so that she felt she had her day in court. I also liked the fact that the mediator spoke to the parties separately, thus avoiding ugly confrontation, and did not ignore the medical evidence, as so many other mediators do."

"The mediator’s approach was just right given the status of the prior settlement discussions."

"Very professional, bright and pleasant lawyer."
