Thank you for your services today.  I very much enjoyed getting to meet, and work with you on this one.  Your preparation for the issues in the case has been unmatched by any other mediator I have experienced thus far.  I liked your approach with the parties as well as your transparency in your discussions and evaluations of the matter.

I very much look forward to the chance to work with you again in the future.

This is to recommend Richard Strauss as a Mediator in connection with matters involving first party insurance coverage defense.

Richard was recommended to us by our client, to mediate a dispute pertaining to water damage involving a first party insurance claim.  There were a number of legal issues in the case and Richard arrived well versed in all of them, able, accordingly,to contribute to a discussion of the issues.  His demeanor was excellent and he continually channeled the parties in the right direction.  At the end, when it seemed as though we would be at an impasse, Richard came up with some new suggestions which ultimately settled the case.

I would accordingly recommend Richard as a Mediator in matters involving First Party Insurance Coverage.
