What Attorneys Say About Daniel Ben-Zvi, Esq.
"I found my experience with Daniel Ben-Zvi as a mediator to be a very fruitful one. Mr. Ben-Zvi's easy manner and keen understanding of the issues involved and the emotions and needs of the parties lead to a rather seamless resolution of our dispute. I would highly recommend him." Bob O'Neill, Vice President and General Counsel, Rhino Records
"Mediation is an art, and a mediator who can convince the parties to adjust their views to reach resolution is the key. Much like making pottery, push too hard and the settlement fails, push too little and the settlement never takes shape. Although the profile of Mr. Ben-Zvi by the Daily Journal was quite favorable, it still may not have done him justice. Mr. Ben-Zvi's work in the two cases I have had before him was the key to resolution of two very emotional cases. "David L. Winter, Esq. of Moore, Winter, Skebba & McLennan
"After we won a $27.5 Million jury verdict, my client and I relied on Daniel Ben-Zvi's unique negotiating skills in a mediation held while the case was on appeal. Our reliance was very well placed. The parties at the mediation left with a signed, confidential settlement agreement." Martin Weniz, Esq.
"I thought the job Mr. Ben-Zvi did in settling our case at the end of last month was nothing short of spectacular. We are very impressed with his talents." John T. Blanchard, Esq. Professor, Loyola Law School and Attorney at Law.
"Daniel Ben-Zvi did an excellent job for us. His calm, diligent manner and complete grasp of the facts and law in our case resulted in a settlement that the parties had been unable to achieve on their own, despite months of trying." Rita M. Haeusler, Esq. of Hughes Hubbard & Reed
"Thanks to Mr. Ben-Zvi, I thought he did a very good job at the mediation. I'd be happy to be a reference for him." Michael L. Cypers, Esq. of Alschuler, Grossman, Stein & Kahan
"This case had some genuinely unique peculiarities and procedural issues, and an emotional component, which did not bode well for a settlement. Mr. Ben-Zvi's skill, demeanor, patience, creativity and, above all, his unwillingness to give up, are what produced the momentum and, ultimately, the settlement. I and my client [Los Angeles Department of Airports] were both very impressed and will definitely be requesting his services in the future." Douglas S. Knoll, Esq.
"Daniel Ben-Zvi is an excellent mediator, a quick study who evaluates the issues and nuances of a complex case carefully and well, and who works tenaciously to achieve a resolution that works for both parties." Michael Heumann, Esq. of Nossaman, Guthner, Knox & Elliott
"As I told Mr. Ben-Zvi at the outset of our mediation, I considered this case unsettleable. I was thoroughly and happily surprised when through superhuman efforts he managed to bring the parties together. The various co-defendants up until that point could not even agree on the color of the sky. I realize that results like this take a lot of hard work and skill, and obviously Mr. Ben-Zvi has both. I would heartily recommend him as a mediator to anyone, particularly in entertainment cases." James E. Curry, Esq. of White O'Connor Curry Gatti & Avanzado
"This was a difficult case to resolve due to the participation of two municipalities with various political and personal issues involved. Mr. Ben-Zvi handled it well and should be commended for his efforts... His willingness to listen and understand issues was refreshing. All counsel involved spoke and the general consensus was that we were all generally pleased with the outcome." Robert D. Stubblefield, Esq.
"Mediator Daniel Ben-Zvi had a thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the parties' cases before the mediation began, his assessment of the costs and risks of going to trial was right on the mark and he did an excellent job of overcoming the parties' recalcitrance in achieving a settlement. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future and would enthusiastically recommend him to others." David Fallek, Esq. of Bingham McCutchen
"Daniel Ben-Zvi taught alternative dispute resolution as a lecturer in connection with my entertainment negotiations course at UCLA. Daniel Ben-Zvi is an extremely dynamic speaker and one of the foremost experts in his field. " Daniel Yankelevits, Esq. Business Affairs, DreamWorks
