“Ann went above and beyond to help the parties negotiate a highly contentious neighbor dispute case involving trespass and real property claims. Without her assistance I do not believe the case would have settled. Although the parties did not settle at the first mediation session, Ann’s commitment continued and remained involved until agreements were reached. It is this kind of dedication that makes Ann one of my top pics for cases, especially where emotions run high. Her dedication of seeing settlements through to the end is exemplary.”

“Litigation can be so nasty, but when it is time to try resolution, you want a mediator who is able to get past all of that. That's Ann. I have hired Ann on multiple occasions and most of those cases have resolved. Even cases that seemed like they had no hope of resolution. I don't know what she says when she's in that other room, but the other side listens to her—and so do my clients. She doesn't let go, and she always seems to talk sense into people. Even me.”

"Ann is my first choice to mediate any real property dispute. After many years of working on both the same side as Ann, and opposite her, I know she will always be fully versed in all the factual and legal intricacies of the case. She often successfully negotiated settlements for cases I was sure would go to trial. I don’t know anyone better qualified to mediate a complex and contentious matter."

"Ann is a great mediator who handles difficult personalities and positions with ease and who is thorough in her analysis and commitment to achieving resolution. She does the mental work before a mediation and during the mediation works with each room to get the parties to consider new angles and ultimately reach a settlement. When mediating a recent case with challenging personalities and settlement numbers in different stratospheres, she continued to work through the process ultimately achieving a settlement due to her creativity and persistence. Highly recommend!"

I have sought Ann's assistance with two contentious real estate disputes in the past year. I suggested Ann in both mediations given her extensive background experience with complex real estate matters. She has not disappointed. In addition to her expertise, Ann is relatable, pragmatic, and works tirelessely to help parties resolve their cases. Both of my matters appeared to be heading to trial until we were able to mediate. Ann devoted significant time and energy, including staying involved several weeks after one of the mediations, to help us reach settlement in both matters. I would not hesitate to recommend Ann for any mediation, especially those involving real estate issues.
