Christina Wiellette Director (2010-2015), Arts Arbitration and Mediation Services, Berkeley, CA

"I've used Daniel's services for several years in both Unlawful Detainer Court and Small Claims Court. Both of these courts are very contentious and emotional. Daniel always stays calm and focused throughout the mediations. However, even more importantly, he has a unique ability to defuse angry and combative situations, and bring the parties back to a neutral state in order to move forward with the mediation. Daniel is friendly yet firm, and is able to take control of discussions, but in a non-aggressive and very professional manner."
