Testimonials
"Ms. Grey resolved a very contentious, high-profile employment case that was on the verge of a jury trial. I believed the chances of settling the case were next to zero. Despite my apprehensions about the case, Ms. Grey was able to get it settled by bringing great skill, knowledge and experience to the entire process. She immediately demonstrated to the parties a firm grasp of the factual and legal issues that would likely determine the outcome of the case. She gave insightful feedback about how those issues might play out at trial.
Moreover, she understood and supported my client’s emotional needs to be heard, listened to, and supported throughout the conference—she established a strong rapport with me and my client, which facilitated the negotiations greatly. She was a great listener, and showed great empathy to my client’s emotional pain and suffering. Ms. Grey’s knowledge of employment law was extensive. Ms. Grey basically did something close to the impossible in getting my case resolved, for which me and my client are eternally grateful. I would highly recommend Ms. Grey’s services as a mediator or settlement conference neutral to anyone."
