janet-portrait

"Janet Sobel helped us through a very sensitive situation with an unpredictable third party that could have gone very bad – but thanks to Janet’s skills of negotiation, firm confidence in her abilities and knowledge of the law, and most importantly her talent for cutting to the root of the problem, she was able to solve the matter in just one mediation session and avoid a drawn out (and expensive) litigation.

Janet promptly proved her worth upon the first phone call we made to her. She took the time to patiently listen to the whole story, to be sure she understood the scope of the problem and provided valuable insights that we had never realized before. Her clear and poignant insight had a profound rippling effect in our lives for the better.

Janet is someone you definitely want on your side of the negotiation table no matter the situation. "
