[Adrian Byrne, Esq.]
"The mediation was held yesterday afternoon, and after having had my first mediation with Mr. Geffen, I formed a very favorable impression of him as the mediator in our case. He is very skilled and uses many of the tools and methods that experienced mediators utilize in helping the parties to facilitate a settlement.
…Mr. Geffen demonstrated a strong grasp of the legal issues and the medical facts in our case, and we were able to resolve the case with his excellent assistance. He has no apparent agenda toward plaintiff or defense, just a strong-willed motivation to get the case settled for a fair and reasonable amount given all the risks, benefits and variables that invariably exist in every case."
[Robert Moss, Esq.]

[Jeffrey Fishkin, Esq]
"David Geffen handled a complicated, business dispute mediation for my client. The case involved a substantial amount of money, the transfer of an active business and consequences at stake for both sides. Mr. Geffen took his time and got a feel for all the moving parts and the financial impediments to settlement. He got us to an intelligent, thoughtful solution that made complete business sense. Mr. Geffen also dealt with some personal goals that were important to my client that I had somewhat disregarded being focused on the financial issues. My client tells me that he left the mediation with the belief his needs were listened to and that he was impressed with Mr. Geffen and Mr. Geffen's work on his case, including Mr. Geffen's sensitivity to his requirements and his personal goals. Mr. Geffen got this case settled just before trail. I didn't think it would be possible. He saved my client money and the stress and uncertain exposure of trial."
[Monica M., Esq.]
"I recommend David Geffen as a mediator without hesitation. He is knowledgeable about the law, able to really hear/understand both sides of a case, and, from my personal experience, was able to bring two parties together to bring about a resolution. The mediation with Mr. Geffen began with the parties so hostile to each other and so far apart that none of us thought a resolution was possible. Several hours later, a settlement was reached and everyone was cordially shaking hands. I know it sounds a bit overblown to say that Mr. Geffen is a miracle worker, but he sure worked a miracle at the mediation that I witnessed."
[Suzanne R.]
"You really can't get a better mediator than Mr. Geffen. He will take the time to listen to you and ask thoughtful questions. When faced with the most aggressive or intense adversary, he is cool, calm and collected. He does not get rattled and is able to handle any situation with composure and a touch of humor.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, he really understands the discrimination and barriers faced by people with disabilities and other marginalized groups, including women, people of color and members of the LGBTQIA community."
[Anastasia S.]
