Testimonials

"We had a great experience with Judge Keosian. His demeanor is disarming, which was particular important in our case as the parties have been bitterly fighting for years. He does a great job of allowing you to feel heard, but challenged at the same time. And he quickly assessed a situation that had a very narrow path to potential resolution and went with it rather than trying to steer the discussions in a direction that had no chance of success. That quick assessment and direction has done more for the parties in one day than 4+ years of settlement discussions and litigation between the parties. Whether the parties settle or not, this is the most optimistic the sides have been and that is due in large part to Judge Keosian."

"Judge Keosian was great. Professional, patient, and knowledgeable. I have told others about my experience, and I will try to use him again."

"Going into the mediation, I was optimistic that the case would easily settle. It is a trip and fall with limited damages. But it got complicated because plaintiff more than doubled its pre-mediation demand in the first cycle. Judge Keosian, who probably would have been able to settle the case in his sleep before, now had a major challenge on his hands. He rose to the challenge and got the parties to a number that neither was happy with but which made sense for both sides. I would use him again."

"Judge Keosian was great. Arguably one of the most effective top 5 mediators I’ve worked with in the last 10 years. Effective and efficient with his use of time and management of the parties. Will certainly be working with him again."

"I very much enjoyed working with Judge Keosian and I plan on using him again in the future. He was very receptive to my client’s concerns and was patient with us. He did not overly advocate for one side or the other, which I appreciated. I feel he made a sincere effort to resolve the case and ultimately, it did get resolved."

"We really enjoyed mediating with Judge Keosian. We loved how straightforward and to the point he was. At the same time, he valued our client and did a great job relating to her and sympathizing for the sexual harassment that occurred. He recognized that while he was not a woman, his daughters help him see the cases from the perspective of women who could be jurors in this case. He moved things along quickly and efficiently and we told him we would be putting him on our list of mediators to use again."

"Judge Keosian was wonderful; he not only settled the case for us, but has the proper disposition and acumen to get cases resolved. "

"Judge Keosian was great! He has a very good mediation temperament and he had an excellent grasp of the case facts (which some mediators don’t get from just the briefs). I would definitely like to have him again as a mediator in the future."

"Judge Keosian was excellent. Good listener; fair; even tempered. Will definitely use again."
