Here is what people have to say about Arnie Herz Mediation:

"As an attorney with 25 years experience, I can recognize cases that can't settle. One such divorce case was heading to trial because my adversary was one of the breed of lawyers that litigates everything. Arnie Herz came in as a mediator thoroughly prepared and worked diligently, transitioning between each side and effectively eliminating obstacles that seemed impossible to overcome. At the end of the first day, we reached an agreement that ended over two years of contentious litigation. He was highly effective." -- Gregory G. Harris, Esq., Harris, Balzer & Conway, PLLC

"What was most unique about Arnie Herz's approach in this cybersquatting mediation was that he truly used his perceptions about human nature to break down walls and barriers that separated the parties. I'd use him again because I thought he was really phenomenal at listening to both sides - the lawyers and the parties." -- Celeste Butera, Esq., Rivkin Radler LLP
