"Sometimes a single answer is so exceptional and thoughtful as to warrant an endorsement. The answer of Mr. Bean regarding mediation was not only accurate and analytic, but customized in many ways to the needs of the Avvo asker. These are exactly the qualities that every client would look for when hiring a mediator or an attorney."
