I have had the pleasure of meeting Barbara several times now, and I cannot think of anyone else that I would recommend first as a mediator. Her demeanor, professionalism, and experience are truly what sets her apart. I endorse her without reservation.

I have know Barbara for a few years now. She is an EXTREMELY effective mediator. She is bright and has extensive knowledge of many, many fields of law. She is compassionate and tough, all at the right time. Use her for mediation for either side and you will not be disappointed.
Alexander Barthet, Mediation Attorney on Aug 13, 2014

There are few good mediators. There are even fewer great mediators. Barbara is a great mediator and if you have a general civil or maritime case that requires a mediator, you should hire Barbara.
