I have devoted a great deal of my professional life to earn the reputation that apparently motivated the reviewer to engage me on that basis. I assume that the reviewer is an attorney since I enter into mediation retainers only with attorneys. I regret that the reviewer perceived that I was disinterested because that is certainly not the case in any matter that I mediate. I note, parenthetically, that there was no complaint that I was unprepared for the mediation. I have no idea what case is the subject matter of the post since I mediate an average of 12 cases a month. Even if I was aware of the matter involved, however, both State and Federal confidentiality rules pertaining to the mediation would prevent a discussion of the details of the mediation in an open forum such as this. Even the arbitration remedy afforded by Avvo would result in breach of the confidentiality rules of mediation, as the reviewer must know. However, as one professional to another, I am willing to discuss the matter further with the reviewer if he/she so desires, since I would be interested to understand whatever I either said or did that led this reviewer to the perception of disinterest.
