Testimonials

"It was a pleasure working with Judge Landin. He called me in advance of the mediation to introduce himself and discuss the case. During the mediation he was professional, thorough, fair, and kept on schedule. He was personable and respectful. I noted his name in my planner so that I can choose him again."

“Appeared before him several times and can attest to his knowledge and expertise and skills. He helped resolved some of my difficult cases.”

“Judge Landín was professional, sensitive to our client’s need, and thoroughly prepared. We appreciated his understanding of the factual and legal issues and his ability to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the case. In addition, Judge Landín was good-natured and an excellent listener, making the mediation process as enjoyable as possible.”

“Judge Landin was an excellent mediator in helping to settle a major complex civil litigation matter that involved sensitive facts and complex relations among the parties. Focused, prepared, conscientious, skilled, compassionate, and pragmatic are the descriptive terms that come to mind in describing his conduct and approach to the mediation. Drawing from his decades of judicial experience, he was able to command the respect of all sides while still staying down to earth, approachable, and warm in his interactions with counsel and the parties.”

“Judge Landín is a highly skilled mediator. He quickly understands complex matters and deftly motivates the parties to change their entrenched positions. Judge Landín is certainly on my short list for high quality mediators.”

“Judge Landin really took to heart everything that we prioritized in the mediation – the points we felt strongly about, and he carried our priorities through to the end and tried to find something that worked for both sides as opposed to pushing either side to compromise on something that wasn’t important. It was one of those rare instances where the settlement sort of felt like a win for both sides.”

“Judge Landin connects with clients very well, and I think he listens really well, and he doesn’t waste time. He’s very good at figuring out the weaknesses of the case and getting explanations for it. He just has a really great connection with the lawyers and the clients and a great demeanor, where he’s trying to help out. He’s non-combative. He’s not off-putting. Both of my clients really liked him.”

“Judge Landin did a good job of never revealing his hand of leverage. I’m still not sure exactly what he told the other side to make them understand that they needed to get it settled because the insurance company in our case had some pretty good defenses. But they put up a substantial sum of money. He got what they were saying. They felt heard and respected in the process, so they were content with the result. And Judge Landin kept the pressure on the other side, and ultimately, they saw my clients I think the way he saw my clients. They understood we weren’t grasping at straws, and we were really damaged, and if we had to put that case in front of a jury, it would be likely the jury would receive it the same way. He communicated that very well, and that’s where the case settled. It settled on the personal parts.”

“Judge Landin was fantastic. He effectively managed a mediation between two parties with a long history of animosity and mistrust, and kept everyone at the table in order to find a resolution. I would not hesitate to use Judge Landin again in the future.”
