I, along with other members of our firm, primarily represent employees in difficult employment termination cases. Over several years, our firm and opposing counsel have selected Bob Steinberg as a mediator to facilitate a pre-trial resolution because of Bob’s experience as a former federal Magistrate Judge and his experience handling complex litigation. I have found Bob to be creative in his approaches to assisting both sides to achieve resolution, and he is a “go to” mediator in the Midwest. I would heartily recommend him if you are looking for an experienced mediator capable of achieving success.

Bob has successfully mediated some of my most difficult and contentious employment cases. He is persistent, creative and extremely effective as a mediator.

Bob did a terrific job mediating a tough case in which the parties made no progress towards resolution prior to the mediation. Bob immediately honed in on the key issues and offered unique insights that helped me prepare for an effective mediation. Candidly, I came to the mediation session very pessimistic about resolving the matter, but Bob’s tremendous patience and persistence enabled the mediation to be successful. In addition, Bob brings a lot of credibility to the process because of his judicial experience. I strongly recommend retaining Bob as a mediator, especially in difficult cases.

I appeared before Bob Steinberg for many years when he was on the federal bench and also have utilized his talents as a mediator. When Bob was on the bench, he skillfully assisted in resolving many employment cases in which I represented defendant employers. Since leaving the bench, I have retained Bob to handle mediations of employment disputes, including one extremely difficult SOX whistleblower claim. Bob is uniquely talented in his approach to mediation. He is thorough, detail oriented and extraordinarily patient in working through facts, emotions and legal issues. He relates particularly well with clients and has instant credibility having spent many years on the bench. I have used many high profile, experienced mediators across the country in large class action and multi-plaintiff cases and none are better than Bob Steinberg. I highly recommend him for any case from single plaintiff claims to national class actions.
