Testimonials

Glenn was very effective in this case that involved a highly sensitive/emotional issue. He was able to address that issue with the plaintiff and resolve the case.

Glenn Lerman is an excellent, effective mediator and a real pleasure to work with. I plan on using him again as a mediator and will recommend him to my colleagues.

Glenn Lerman is, without question, one of the best labor/employment mediators in California. I've recommended him to my colleagues on BOTH sides of disputes and will continue to use Glenn as long as he's mediating. Glenn not only knows the applicable laws and issues better than most mediators (that claim to be "employment law" experts), but he also has certain intangibles that are very important to resolving disputes and that other mediators simply do not possess. He has a gift with people. Glenn makes sure to listen and get to know my clients and their while also ensuring that - with professionalism and respect - my clients also understand the risks and weaknesses of their respective claims. Glenn is my go-to employment/labor mediator.

Mr. Lerman assisted the parties in reaching a resolution in three similar but separate employment discrimination cases. This was a herculean task to complete in one day, but Mr. Lerman pulled it off by keeping the parties on task.

“I’ve used Glenn to mediate a variety of wage and hour and wrongful termination disputes, and he has successfully settled everyone. Glenn’s interpersonal skills are great. I love taking my clients into using him. No matter what kind of case it is, no matter what kind of client I have, he’s really able to make the client feel comfortable with him and trust him, and I think that’s because he has experience working on both sides. He’s just always able to find some common ground with my clients.”

“I’ve been using Glenn as a mediator for 10 years. His extensive background representing clients on both sides of the aisle sets him apart. That just gives him a lot of perspective about what to say in which room. It can be kind of difficult if you’re not used to working with plaintiffs in employment cases to strike the right tone with them. Those are people who have gone through emotional things, and they’re sensitive to criticism. There’s a very delicate way you have to approach those kinds of people, and the fact Glenn has been in the room with plaintiffs and understands the negotiation that has to go on in that room is very, very useful.”

“I’ve used Glenn to successfully settle a number of sensitive cases involving intense emotions. His approach is especially balanced. I have some clients who need a lot of hand-holding. They’re not as experienced, they don’t understand legal issues. But I also have clients that are quite sophisticated, and they don’t really want to be beaten up by their mediator. Some mediators tend to get overly aggressive, and while Glenn is definitely persuasive, it’s in a measured and balanced way, and I think that appeals to clients.”
