“Your talent, patience, and commitment to a resolution were without question largely responsible for achieving a result that was, in the end, viewed as positive by all the participants”

“I’ve mediated more than 35 cases in front of various mediators. Mr. Klein is the most effective mediator I’ve ever encountered.”

– Weyman T. Johnson, Jr.
Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, LLP

“You did an excellent job in coming to a quick understanding of the facts and the law, and more importantly, the practical problems associated with trying the case from the standpoint of the plaintiffs or the defendant. The seven plaintiffs in the case all seemed to trust your judgment and your impartiality, which makes all the difference in the world in a case like this.”

– Tom Richardson
Chambless, Higdon & Carson, LLP

“The compassion, calm demeanor, and persistence you exhibited were key to the resolution of the emotional issues involved. I particularly appreciated your experience in representing both employees as well as employers. That experience was invaluable and contributed to the successful mediation of the case.”

“Dan is a gifted mediator. I expect a mediator of his caliber to be thoroughly knowledgeable in his area of the law and Dan does not disappoint. But, beyond his knowledge of the law and his obvious training in mediation skills, Dan has an innate ability to choose the precise moments to push, push harder, and back off. He is never bombastic; he doesn’t browbeat anyone or boast of his own successes. He engages and disarms attorneys and clients, and he follows up with low-key, determinedly persistent persuasion. By the end of the mediation, I have a good result and my client has closure on all levels.”

– Maxine Burns Hardy
Attorney Maxine Burns Hardy

“I just wanted to thank you again for what a great job you did getting my client and her former employer to closure—in a clash that seemed unresolvable. You absolutely deserve combat pay!  We so appreciated your relentless dedication to getting the job done—even when it seemed impossible. Even when it was inconvenient.  Even when we were all tired and testy. And even when it required time night, day and weekend. While my client is satisfied with her $million+ deal, the peace that comes through resolution is worth many times that to her. I feel certain we could not have obtained it without you. I know we both know how valuable peace is.

“I am amazed that in every one of the multiple mediations I have had with you, no matter how difficult, you always got the job done. Every time. You are truly a uniquely gifted mediator!”

“I have used a lot of mediators, but I truly believe you are the best I have encountered.”

– Benton J. Mathis, Jr.
Freeman Mathis & Gary

“The two cases involved seventeen plaintiffs from all over the Eastern United States. … My clients were amazed and delighted to bring this contentious, protracted, and expensive dispute to a close. … your skill, patience, tact, creativity, and determination to succeed when others would have thrown in the towel were everything I had heard and more.”

– R. Lawrence Ashe, Jr.
Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Dobbs. LLP

“…early settlement negotiations had produced a gap of close to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. I believe your conduct throughout the mediation was exemplary… you were the model mediator: informed, impartial, professional, insightful, and, perhaps most importantly, effective.”

– Kenneth G. Menendez
Vincent, Berg, Stalzer & Menendez

“Throughout the mediation, not only did Mr. Klein exhibit experience, but he also displayed interpersonal skills which extended beyond the realm of what a person can be taught.”

– Jeffrey A. Felser

“At last, we found something Plaintiff’s counsel and I can agree on: you did a fabulous job!”
