  • "Mr. Karen was thoroughly prepared; extremely professional; hard-working before and throughout the mediation; polite; patient; gracious; determined to attain a settlement; straightforward; easy to work with; and very, very effective. We reached a settlement before the mediation was set to end! From the first moment he interacted with this office, he made clear that we were working with someone who is really superb at what he does, and who really loves his work. He simply shone. He's a polished diamond of a mediator. He is one of the finest mediators this office has ever worked with."
