Jeffrey Grubman, Esq.

Counsel Comments

• “Thank you for your effort and good work…you have earned a spot in my very, very small and exclusive club of ‘go-to mediators’…thanks for your patience, guidance and good judgment.”
  
  - Senior Vice President & In-House Counsel, U.S. financial services company
• “It was a pleasure working with you today, and I will forever remember you as the mediator who guided me through my first Zoom mediation. I was quite pleased with the process, and you did a great job. Zoom makes using a Florida mediator on a West Coast case a lot more viable! I look forward to working with you on our next case.”
  
  - Los Angeles Securities Litigator
• “I am all-in on Zoom mediations on a going forward basis…I cannot imagine they [clients] won't insist on them from a cost and efficiency perspective.”
  
  - Portland, Oregon Business/Securities Litigator
• “Happy to report my client accepts the mediator's proposal…you did a great job in getting us to this point. My client and I both appreciate your efforts. We would not be here without you."
  
  - South Florida Business Litigator
• "[Mr. Grubman] did an incredibly fine job getting us "settled."  I'm a big proponent of mediation, and [he is] one of the best at the craft I've come across over three decades of litigation on a national scale -- a true master.  I'll be singing [his] praises…Hopefully our paths will cross again."  
• “I wanted to formally thank you for your efforts in getting the case resolved. I have been practicing for 27 years and that was probably the most complicated coverage/judgment/factual matter that I have ever encountered, and would make a good law school exam question. I will definitely recommend your services should anyone be seeking a mediator.”
  
  - Law Firm Partner with Insurance Coverage Practice
• "I do not think anyone else could have accomplished the settlement you brought the parties...The situation seemed virtually hopeless and yet you gracefully brought both sides to their senses and to common ground...we thank you for sharing with us your profound experience and uniquely elegant professional abilities."
  
  - Prominent Litigation Attorney
• "Jeff was first rate. Perhaps the best mediation performance by a mediator that I've had in my 20 years of practicing law."
  
  - Co-Chair, Litigation Department of a Large FL Law Firm
• “Jeff is a superb mediator. Knowledgeable, quick-study, persistent with a calming demeanor. Highest marks possible and second to no one.”
  
  - NY Securities Defense Attorney
• “I pushed for Jeff Grubman with adverse counsel and then again with my client when the mediation needed to be pushed to a later date because I believe that if this case is capable of being settled prior to litigation being filed, it is Mr. Grubman who can do it. As he knows, I’ve been surprised and pleased with the two un- settleable cases which he actually was able to resolve.” 
  
  - South Florida Litigation Attorney
• “I thought this case had no chance of being resolved, I am so impressed you kept at it and got the parties to agree.” 
  
  - International Law Firm Business Litigation Partner
• “Thank you so much! What a great resolution. I am glad that we can be one of your success stories!  What a miracle worker you are, to turn such animosity into laughter and hugs!  As you say, I hope it continues smoothly, but we are certainly in a much better place than we were on Friday morning! It was great to be with you, and I will certainly recommend you to our entertainment attorney community here.  I'm glad to know you can come here as well.”
  
  - Prominent Atlanta Entertainment Attorney
• “I should tell you that my client (a plaintiff’s medical malpractice attorney) is not a big fan of mediators. When I first raised the idea of mediating his case, he indicated that he had yet to meet a mediator he thought was helpful. Yet he thought you did a great job. He thought you added much value to the process. So there's that: you impressed him. And us.” 
  
  - Prominent Plaintiffs’ Business Litigation Attorney
• “I think Jeff brings a wealth of experience and a practical perspective to every case. He’s litigated cases from both the plaintiff and defense side, and combining that experience with his practical experience and business sense, he has the ability to keep a balanced perspective in evaluating the relative strengths and weaknesses in cases.”
  
  - Prominent South Florida Business Litigation Firm Partner
• “Our firm has used several mediators over the last several years but found in particular that Jeff has a unique ability to convey and articulate the issues in a manner which engages both sides into constructive discussions. Furthermore, we found that Jeff does excellent preparation prior to the mediation in understanding the issues and his evaluative approach is very effective in assisting the parties reach an amicable resolution.”
  
  - Plaintiffs’ Securities Litigation Firm Partner
• “I primarily use Jeff because he gets the job done. Jeff understands the subject matter and clearly puts in the time necessary to prepare for a mediation session. He is not dogmatic in his approach; he recognizes the different personalities that are involved in any particular mediation, and acts accordingly. He has insight as to what will work with the parties; he is not adverse to employing different strategies and thinking out of the box – he is willing to change to accommodate the parties involved in the proceeding. He is different than his competitors in that he employs a certain personable and professional demeanor in relaying to my clients his evaluation and opinion on their exposure, without alienating or insulting them. Furthermore, his evaluations are well thought out and the product of his preparation and ability to listen and comprehend the information that he learns during the course of a session. I can think of one case in particular where he was extremely effective; the matter involved multiple parties, numerous investments, and several damage calculations. Miraculously, he was able to bring everything together and get the case settled to the satisfaction of all involved.” 
  
  - National Law Firm Business Litigation Shareholder
• “I feel that we have all worked cooperatively together over the past 6 six weeks to reach this point. Jeff, you simply did a fine and resolute job with both sets of attorneys and clients – and I know it was a challenge. I simply cannot ask for more from a mediator.” 
  
  - Plaintiffs’ Securities Litigation Attorney from California
• “There are four reasons I use Jeff and propose him as a favored mediator in my cases. First, he prepares meticulously for each mediation and takes the time to understand the factual and legal issues in the case. Second, Jeff has a special ability to put the parties at ease and to eliminate the posturing that unfortunately tends to occur in such proceedings. Third, Jeff quickly focuses on the key issues in the case. Fourth, Jeff works tirelessly, even in the days after the mediation if necessary, to bring the matter to a successful resolution.”
  
  - Prominent Plaintiff's Securities Litigation Attorney
• “Of course. And thanks again for all of your assistance and candor. Your involvement was an integral force that extracted the settlement.”
  
  - Commercial Litigation, Partner
• “I am frequently asked to recommend mediators...[and] my inclination is to recommend people who have an even keeled style that does not preclude evaluation, but does not overemphasize it...I liked the way you approached the case. I am glad we got to work together and hope to do it again.”
