Testimonials


“I've used Bob Tessier's services as a professional mediator for several years now, both when he had his own agency, and since he became affiliated with Judicate West a few years ago. Having dealt with dozens of mediators, including some who were quite good, over 33 years as a plaintiffs' attorney, Bob Tessier is my "mediator of choice"! He has an uncanny ability to spot and understand all the issues, and to cut to the chase, zeroing in on what's important to the client, and on what is needed to reach a settlement that both sides can live with. More importantly, he genuinely cares about all the parties to a dispute, and has gone way above and beyond the call of duty in some of my cases, to get the job done, and let everyone come away feeling like a winner. I can't recommend his services as a mediator highly enough.”

-Alan Snitzer, Attorney At Law, Law Offices of Alan B. Snitzer

I am very satisfied with his work and know that he enjoys a great reputation in the community."

-Kerry Gelbard, Mortgage Specialist, L.A. Mortgage, Inc


“I represented the owner in a complicated commercial property landlord-tenant breach of contract litigation where both sides were foreign, did not understand the language nor the system.  Neither side thought there was a great chance of settling the case.  The emotions were high and the egos were big.  Bob did a wonderful job in getting the parties to reach a settlement and did not give up no matter how difficult the parties seemed to make it for him.  Bob is truly gifted with his mediation style.  Highly respected and recommended.”
