WoW!
Sandra Dredge was appointed to us as our mediator. I could not find any reviews on her before we went.
When we got there, we were offered drinks and snacks in our own private room. The opposing party had their own room and she went back and forth between us and we never even saw them.
Sandra is BRILLIANT, she knows the law, she knows the judges, she knows opposing attorneys, and she knows the system.
We came to mediation believing that it would take several attempts at mediation, and most likely our case would end up in court.
We came in with our own agenda, and she told us that she has been doing this long enough not to need our agenda, and she was right! She covered everything. We got EVERYTHING that we had wanted, and the other side felt like they got what they wanted to.
She is a brilliant negotiator, and helps everyone see the other side's point of view. She came prepared, she was familiar with our situation, she listened, she was fair, she knew the case law pertaining to our case.
This was a wonderful experience, and even though it may seem like a lot of money - when you consider the cost of taking this to court - it was worth every penny, and saved us thousands of dollars in the long run. read more
