Testimonials

"Judge Oldendorf was exceptional. She worked tirelessly to get the case settled. She communicated with the parties before mediation for a premediation discussion, was very effective during mediation, followed up after, and got the case resolved. She is highly effective. I will certainly use her again."

"I thought she was outstanding, and will definitely use her again. We had a very challenging case that I did not expect to go anywhere, and she got the parties to make substantial movements. She is very professional, patient and experienced."

"Judge Oldendorf was great and got a difficult case done for us with good value. She has a fabulous communication style, worked hard to understand all of the issues in the case and was extraordinarily diligent with reviewing papers. We will definitely mediate or arbitrate with her again."

"My client and I were very pleased by her considered approach. She knew when to tread lightly and when to be firm with her convictions. I also received a call from her the day before the mediation (we spoke for about 1 hour) so that she could ask questions about the background, issues to be resolved at mediation, etc.  My client specifically mentioned that he appreciated her approach, her warmth, her being direct, and also the way she handled his questions.
 

What was important was how she prepared for the mediation, handled the mediation, and assisted counsel to reach agreement that they both (I’m sure) felt good about taking back to their clients.
 

Not only did she see it through, but she also even followed up with us last night about the status of our settlement documents, ensuring they were signed. Both attorneys responded, and after exchanging signed copies this morning, I informed her that her efforts had paid off.
 

So, for this case, she gets and A+.  (And your facility is great!)"

"Judge Oldendorf did an excellent job on our case.  She brought both intelligence and creativity to resolution and helped us overcome what had been some obstacles. I would use Judge Oldendorf again if the opportunity arises."

"Judge Oldendorf was a pleasure to work with. She worked very hard with both sides and we got the case settled. I have no complaints!"

"Judge Oldendorf was excellent. She treated my client with a lot of respect, showed genuine empathy for the injuries she is dealing with - but was still effectively able to communicate the risks/cons of not settling a case. I will definitely use her again."
