"I’ve done hundreds of mediations, and a lot of them with retired judges, and very often I find that retired judges almost weaponize their experience to mystify the process to the parties – plaintiffs and defendants – to make everything seem more difficult and less certain. Judge Ramirez did the exact opposite. He used his experience to help demystify the process and to give my client control over her life and the decision of whether or not to settle and to give her clarity as to what would be entailed in litigating the case further and understanding those implications."
"I’ve worked with other mediators that tried to browbeat litigants, and I find that to be a very bad strategy. Clients are trusting us not to put them into a hostile situation, [and] with Judge Daniel Ramirez, I am confident he’s going to be very respectful to my clients, and he’s going to have competent, reasonable settlement strategies."
"He’s understanding, and he’s empathetic, and I think that is very, very helpful because we’re talking about people’s lives and their assets and how they move forward, and he understands that on a level that I think is really important and sometimes gets misse."
"I found Hon. Daniel Ramirez to be very professional. It was clear that he cared about ensuring a fair process for all parties involved in an expeditious manner. He was firm in his instructions, yet considerate of both parties positions."
