TESTIMONIALS
“Steve, I wanted to thank you for your service to the EEOC’s Federal Pro Bono Mediation Panel. You served as a Mediator out of the Seattle Field Office beginning in 2017 – present [October 2018]. Since coming aboard, you demonstrated your ability to resolve complex employment discrimination disputes by settling the most difficult cases. Your concrete interpersonal skills and your ‘never give up’ persistence reflects in your outstanding resolution rate. Moreover, parties who mediated with you have expressed their gratitude and comment how easy you were to work with and that without your assistance the case would not have settled. Above all, it’s clear you understand that getting parties to settle requires nothing short of patience and a high degree of emotional intelligence. Steve, your efforts and hard work are commended.”
“In 2017, I had the occasion to work with Steve as a mediator in a dispute regarding a government agency. The case involved sensitive workplace issues with unique circumstances. I found Steve to be extremely effective in his role. He certainly has the skills needed as a mediator. He is a good listener. Moreover, he demonstrated appropriate sensitivity to all parties involved. His style aided the process, and also respected the needs of everyone involved. He demonstrated the right ‘touch’ and judgment that lead to a fair resolution. I highly recommend Steve without reservation.”
