Causes more problems than helps

We have had to use Cheryl a few times and the reviews are very accurate, she pushes her agenda on you. Mediation is not arbitration but she claims that if you don’t agree she will then arbitrate. Do not go in without any attorney! She will side with one person, that’s normally the one she talks to f...irst. Not a clue how she has not been disbarred for her antics. I plan on filing a complaint with the bar association.
