People Are Saying…

“The ability to build resolution, hear people deeply and completely, experience empathy, and empower people to make their own decisions are essential strengths that I would be remiss to lave law school without exploring.
– HMP Student

 

“[M]ediation allowed me to find out what was really going on. We ironed a lot of things out. After hearing about the other party’s personal life, I understood her perspective; felt empathy for her; and feel able to co-exist as neighbors. I’m thankful for the mediation.”
