From time to time parties, and their counsel, have been kind enough to provide feedback on my work as mediator, and their comments include the following:

I thank you for your efforts above and beyond the typical efforts made by most mediators. It was, and remains, much appreciated. 

Words cannot express my admiration for your abilities during this rather lengthy mediation.  You were successful in keeping the Defendants and the Plaintiff at it in what turned out to be a long day.  For my part, entering into the mediation I was not optimistic.  But you held all of us there, and dealt with this most difficult case in a most professional and competent manner.  I will have no hesitation in nominating you as a proposed mediator in the future.

I am most grateful for your hard work and efforts in seeing the matter to a successful conclusion at mediation.  I will certainly keep you in mind for future mediations.  Thank you again.

Thank you for your hard work on this mediation. I am certain that your efforts were integral in bringing this longstanding matter to resolution.

We would like to thank you for your time and expertise in conducting the recent mediation.  We truly appreciate the very professional manner in which you conducted the proceedings and the trust which you clearly earned from both parties.  We believe the outcome was what a mediation should be, a compromise both parties can feel good about, accomplished in a time efficient way.  We do not believe the outcome would have been possible without your assistance.

I had heard you were a good mediator, and can now attest to that.

Thank you again for all your hard work in getting this one settled.  I truly didn't think it would get resolved, and attribute the successful mediation in large part to your efforts.

Thanks for your help on this case, and your offer of ongoing assistance.  My clients were content with the process and appreciated your input on some difficult issues.  I have already passed your name and my positive comments along to some of my colleagues. 

Thank you Mr. Altridge...your respect shown to us was greatly appreciated.

From my client and from me, thanks for a job well done.  I believe your efforts were in an important factor in the parties reaching a settlement.  The circumstances were such that a mediation with many other mediators may well have failed.

I'm really impressed with your ability to summarize things.  Really impressed.

Thank you for mediating this matter and assisting us in our goal of getting this settled. Your comments were really appreciated during the day and it truly assisted the process from my perspective.

Thanks again for an excellent job in a difficult mediation. You were appropriately proactive and very creative.  My clients are quite content with the result. The negativity of the litigation is gone and they can get on with something much more positive.

I am surprised it settled, but very happy it did.  I thought you did a great job, and thanks.

I write to thank you for an excellent job in helping reach a settlement.  I apologize for being somewhat difficult but with your tact and assistance we did reach an acceptable agreement.  Again, many thanks. 

Peter, it was our first mediation together and I have to say it was a pleasure working with you. Thanks for your efforts -- they definitely helped the parties to stay the course in a difficult case.

We take this opportunity to thank you for your mediation services as well as your persistence and help in achieving a final settlement amongst the defendants. We have advised our principals that you provided excellent services and value. We also advised our principals that you were instrumental in assisting in achieving a settlement with the defendants and plaintiff.  We will not hesitate to recommend you for mediation services in the future.

Much of the success of the mediation was due to your efforts.  Thank you for assistance.

We wish to extend our thanks and appreciation for your services in handling this most difficult mediation.  In light of your expertise in handling this matter we will definetly be adding your name to our list of mediators.

I was impressed with your handling such a group, and will most definitely keep you in mind for future work.

We (all defence counsel) purposely selected you, and without any regrets.  Thanks again.

I do thank you for your patience, assistance and professionalism.  We'll have to work together again.

It was a pleasure working with you, and I would not hesitate to do so again.
