“Stanley is the BEST! I have sat through hundreds of hours of CLEs and other certifications in 30 years. Stanley stands out as one of the best trainers/instructors in all my years. His engery and style of delivery is creative and he really has a way of involving everyone dispite the differences in personaliites. I don’t know how to give him higher scores other than a 5 out of 5.”
(JB board certified trial attorney) “Stanley’s enthusiasm is infectious. It is obvious he cares and that is extremely important” — Eric R.

“…I wanted to thank you again personally for the excellent (as usual) session yesterday. Although this training session was in the “new normal” electronic format using Zoom, it was just as interesting and dynamic as the ones conducted previously in person. You have a good teaching and instruction style and a dynamic personality that is well fitted to the needs of mediating for both newer and older, more experienced attorneys and non-attorney mediators.
Mediation has some strategic nuances that are similar to trying cases, such as the “be prepared for anything and everything” philosophy that you encourage, but has a major departure with the position of being a neutral party in the case, rather than an advocate. Your practical advice in these small groups is very effective in helping prior advocate attorneys “bridge the gap” to neutrality”
— David Owen, Esq. Fort Myers

“Thank you for the awesome training and for being raw/real with us in making us understand what a true mediator is and what it takes to be an effective one to provide value to the process of mediation. We’re also truly appreciative for the wealth of knowledge you shared with us. Please keep in touch. ” –Michael A., Esq.
