“I find the video conferencing process to be a seamless transition from in person mediations.   As an attorney who uses the mediation forum hundreds of times a year, I couldn’t be happier with the process and the services provided by NAM.”

-Charles J. Hurowitz, Managing Member, Subin Associates, LLP

 

“NAM has provided Travelers with exceptional claim resolution services for a number of years.”

  • Philip Guercio, St. Paul Travelers

 

“I wish to commend Judge DiBlasi not only for his efforts involved during the mediation, but his efforts made following the session, which resulted in resolution of the case. Judge DiBlasi was fair with both sides and took the time to review each side’s position. He offered to and did follow up with the claims representative and the claims supervisor following the conclusion of the mediation, which resulted in settlement of this matter. Judge DiBlasi, in my opinion, went ‘above and beyond the call of duty’ in this matter. It goes without saying that I would not hesitate to use Judge DiBlasi in the future for any of my mediation or arbitration needs.”

The panel of arbitrators utilized by NAM have been outstanding in their fairness, thoroughness and preparation. All of my clients have come away from the mediation or arbitration process with the feeling that their case has been heard by a arbitrator or mediator who took the time to listen to their case and fully consider all the relevant records in helping the matter come to a conclusion. I would absolutely recommend utilizing NAM to resolve cases. The time and cost savings are enormous and the cases are handled by competent and experienced neutrals. The administrative staffs has always been responsive to any of my concerns and always responds to my communications quickly.”

NAM’s group of distinguished judges and mediators makes this possible. I have been using their services for more than 10 years and they have done a terrific job in helping me bring a majority of the cases that I have chosen to mediate to a successful resolution.”

  • Jay Flatow, Esq., Lurie & Flatow P.C.

 

“NAM has served the needs of the claims community by providing mediators who are familiar with the local jurisdiction to assist in a variety of ways during a mediation. While not all the cases settle, everyone walks away with more knowledge about the case including the applicable law that governs the loss. After the parties have had a chance to review their respective positions, they come back with a better understanding of each other’s position. If not during the mediation, often settlements occur soon afterwards. NAM’s professional staff and their awareness of the needs of the carrier and claims community make them the choice to go to when we need to mediate a matter.”
