"Judge Kleifield approached the mediation in the same way that he approached the civil cases assigned to him as a judge. In other words, he was fair to both sides, treated everyone with respect, did his homework and was well prepared, listened closely to what was being communicated and asked good questions and brought his thorough knowledge of the law with him. He was instrumental in helping my client and plaintiffs resolve the disputed claims here and I understand from plaintiff counsel that two other defendants also succeeded in resolving as a result of the one day mediation. On behalf of my clients, I would certainly retain his services again as a mediator and would recommend Judge Kleifield as a mediator to my colleagues."
"Judge Kleifield was excellent and now on my list of recommended mediators. This was a very difficult case to resolve and his calm approach and attention to detail made it resolve. Highly recommend him."
"We really enjoyed working with Judge Kleifield. He has a calm and effective way of communicating news that may not be so good for our case. I have suggested him to defense counsel on another case we plan to mediate."
"Judge Kleifield was a very good mediator. I enjoyed him when he was a judicial officer in Los Angeles Superior Court. He works hard and took the time before the mediation to reach out to counsel and talk about the case and what he would need to assist him during the mediation. We were prepared and the prior preparation and discussion assisted in resolving the litigation. He was professional and courteous and worked well to speak with all parties and listen to all parties. Overall, good mediator."
