Testimonial received include the following:-
“Kevin was patient and yet kept everyone focused on the desirability of achieving a settlement. We all started poles apart...That a resolution was reached at all is not only a testament to the mediation process itself, but to Kevin's own skill.“
“Kevin was excellent as usual who deals with these disputes extremely well. He is sympathetic to the client and understands that settling the dispute will result in a release of stress and pressure. He facilitated a settlement and closure for everyone. We thought he was very good.“
“Kevin was 'brilliant'. He made me feel so comfortable and I hadn't expected to. I felt very comfortable going into the mediation. He had spent a lot of time the week before working with me and talking about the issues ... he brought gravitas and stopped the whole process from breaking down.“
“He is uniquely qualified to be a mediator. He was dedicated, organised, experienced and proficient.“
“... he was sensible, thoughtful and finally managed to broker an agreement when initially the parties were poles apart. He did a very professional job under difficult circumstances.“
