"Understood the issues in the case very well. Kept moving the parties forward and allowed us additional time. Talked to our client. Two weeks before I had a Mediation from a case in San Francisco. I felt it was an easier one to settle than the one with Ms. Madigan but that other Mediator basically gave up and we got nowhere. Ms. Madigan was very skilled and creative in bringing us together in a settlement."

​

"Wonderful disposition that imparts a deep sense of trust. Superior ability to synthesize complicated facts and law and make issues relatively simple. Looking forward to the next one. This case was extremely stressful for the client and she is very thankful to have it behind her. Thank you, Denise."

​

"She listens, provides meaningful feedback (she says "push back") and creates an environment of dialogue which "moves" the parties.  Ms. Madigan has a way with people that earns her their trust - both sides.  She is very personable, smart and respectful."

​

“For one who has been through the drill more than a few times, I appreciated how you handled the mediation. You mediate your cases with grace and intensity . . . [and] you handled the difficult moments beautifully . . ..

Of course the best thing you did was to make me look good in the eyes of my [senior executive] client because he told me later he was quite pleased that I had recommended you as the mediator.”

​

“Ms. Madigan is a top-notch mediator. She is thorough and doesn’t miss a thing.

You always know where you stand and she doesn’t tell you what you want to hear or what she can’t provide. 

I jump at every opportunity to use her for all my mediations.”

​

“You have restored my faith in mediation. You showed a quick grasp of the facts and the personalities involved.  You contributed significantly to the settlement. It was a pleasure working with such a dedicated professional.”

​

“Denise was absolutely the essential ingredient in the resolution of this dispute.”

​

“Your level of preparation and your skills in bringing the parties together were

the keys to getting this matter resolved.”

​

“Denise is among the finest mediators in California. 

She worked tirelessly before, during, and after the session.”

​

“Denise Madigan was perfect — great rapport with difficult client.  Have already used her again!”

​

“Ms. Madigan always manages to get difficult cases resolved somehow!”

​

“Denise — We’re closed!!!  Thanks seems hopelessly inadequate to express my gratitude for

your extraordinarily effective guidance and help.  It was a pleasure to watch you at work.”

​

Denise Madigan was marvelous — as usual.  Both my client and I really enjoy working with her. 

She is efficient, practical, hard-working, and gets the job done — every time.
