Testimonials
"We used Rebecca on a contentious and unusual case with difficult facts and even more difficult parties. She was level headed, kept the parties talking, and earned the respect of everyone involved. Many times she could have thrown up her hands up and accepted the stalemate, but she persevered and ultimately provided an immeasurable benefit to resolution."
- Attorney on a Real Property Eminent Domain Case
"Ms. Grey facilitated the settlement of a difficult, multi-party personal injury case with a pro per plaintiff with potentially significant injuries and damages but no apparent sense of what he wanted and extremely unrealistic expectations for a settlement that was fair to all parties. Ms. Grey clearly understood the issues from the standpoint of all parties, was straightforward and pleasant to work with and went above and beyond to get the case settled."
- Attorney on a Multi-Party Personal Injury Case
"I thought Ms. Grey was a very efficient mediator as far as getting the parties and their counsel to a settlement in the time that was allotted for the half-day mediation. Ms. Grey showed seriousness and respect for my client which helped with a settlement."

- Attorney on a Personal Injury Slip & Fall Case
"Rebecca Grey did a great job at quickly resolving the case."
- Attorney on a Property Damage Case
"Ms. Grey resolved a very contentious, high-profile employment case that was on the verge of a jury trial. I believed the chances of settling the case were next to zero. Despite my apprehensions about the case, Ms. Grey was able to get it settled by bringing great skill, knowledge and experience to the entire process. She immediately demonstrated to the parties a firm grasp of the factual and legal issues that would likely determine the outcome of the case. She gave insightful feedback about how those issues might play out at trial.
Moreover, she understood and supported my client’s emotional needs to be heard, listened to, and supported throughout the conference—she established a strong rapport with me and my client, which facilitated the negotiations greatly. She was a great listener, and showed great empathy to my client’s emotional pain and suffering. Ms. Grey’s knowledge of employment law was extensive. Ms. Grey basically did something close to the impossible in getting my case resolved, for which me and my client are eternally grateful. I would highly recommend Ms. Grey’s services as a mediator or settlement conference neutral to anyone."
