Mediation Partner  -   
​
Put Mr. Geffen’s skills to work for you as your Mediation Partner.

Why do you need one? Attorneys are often perplexed by the communications they receive during mediation and frequently ask the mediator for guidance. However, the mediator is providing feedback based upon his or her objective, which is to achieve a settlement, and not your objective, to achieve the best results for your client. That's where Mr. Geffen can help.

Mr. Geffen has been mediating cases since 1999. He understands what mediators do and why they do it. He can work with you to: 1) prepare a mediation strategy; 2) advance the mediation strategy by attending the mediation with you, analyzing the mediator’s style, communications, and mediation tools that are being employed; and 3) advise you on how to negotiate to achieve the best result for your client. If preferred, Mr. Geffen can work anonymously by phone to guide you during the various stages of negotiation.

Acting as your Mediation Partner, Mr. Geffen can give you a competitive advantage and exponentially elevate your settlement results.

100% Satisfaction Guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with the results, you don’t pay. And, if you’re waiting for settlement funds, Mr. Geffen will wait until the settlement funds are paid to receive his fee. Please call Mr. Geffen to talk about tailoring this service to your needs.
