Testimonials

  • “Bruce is a top notch mediator. He recently served as a mediator in one of my tractor trailor cases with some tricky facts and medical issues. His hard work and ability to listen, really listen, to the concerns of all the parties resulted in the case settling at a number that was fair to all sides. Good job Bruce!”
