Client Reviews
"We’d been circling in an emotionally charged case for some time when we brought in Neda for fresh, experienced eyes to evaluate and guide our settlement posture. We knew of her reputation as a successful trial lawyer and a certified mediator and wanted her as our secret weapon as we prepped for the final mediation before trial. Her analysis was spot-on—every prediction she made played out at mediation exactly as she said it would. We had also asked her to join us at the mediation, where she played a key role in keeping our client grounded and focused. Her calm, collaborative presence diffused tension and helped us reach a resolution with minimal friction. Neda has a rare ability to get to the heart of the matter and elevate both the legal and human sides of a case."
"Neda was exactly the steady hand we needed at a critical crossroads. As co-founders with different visions for our startup, we were stuck—and couldn’t take our concerns to investors. Neda created a safe, strategic space for us to work through the tension, align on priorities, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Her calm, thoughtful approach helped us not only resolve conflict, but come out stronger. We’re deeply grateful and will absolutely turn to her at every important inflection going forward."
