Stew Cogan's Lawyer Endorsements
"Stew is an exceptional mediator. At a time when it seems like every experienced attorney (myself included) is offering mediation services, he has perhaps two or three equals in Seattle in terms of his experience and qualifications. Stew has been mediating cases as his primary focus since before mediation was all the rage. He brings to each mediation a depth of experience and a commitment to find a settlement that gets results. Bring your hotheads, your certain winners, and your "it's the principle" clients, and by the end of the day, they will listen to Stew."
