“As mediator, Mark Sarni helped resolve a commercial landlord-tenant dispute that was at a deadlock. He was well prepared, provided insightful comments, and guided the parties effectively through mediation. Most impressively, Mark helped the parties realize the underlying emotional issues that were causing the deadlock and get passed them. I would highly recommend Mark for mediation.”
Peter Y. Lee, Attorney at Law

 

“Mark Sarni is a lawyer that cares about the client and the outcome of any legal action. Mark and his firm have represented me in civil litigations, mediations, employment contracts and real estate liability issues. His ability shines when the situation requires concise details of the possible solutions that can only be achieved by someone that understands the real needs of a customer. Mark is respectful and has always gone above and beyond for me. It makes all the difference if your attorney understands the personal and not just the legal ramifications at mediation. I have no problem recommending Mark Sarni to anyone needing his services.

“Thanks for your efforts. I’m mentioning you as a mediator / settlement conference neutral to others. It’s so refreshing to find someone not outrageously priced. Truth is, you were as effective as most of the settlement judges I’ve ever had, public or private.”
John Yates, Attorney at Law

“I have been in many many mediations and Mark Sarni is the best mediator I have ever experienced. Everyone on our side thought that this mediation would be a futile effort. He met with the two sides in their zoom meeting rooms and he negotiated a solution to the 5 1/2 year conflict.  We are deeply indebted to him.”
Louis J. Barbich, CPA, MBA

“I have represented clients in many mediations over the past 33 years. Mark Sarni is without question the best and most effective mediator I have worked with. This relatively complex real estate case dispute between buyers and sellers had been going on for 5-1/2 years. Mark came up with innovative, practical and effective solutions that nobody else thought of, treated all parties with respect and neutrality, exercised a great deal of patience and obviously understood real estate law principles, all resulting in a satisfactory settlement. Thank you Mark.”
John Linford, Attorney at Law

“Mark, I join the others on my team in thanking you for a superb job in helping us reach a solution to our real estate conflict. Your expertise and professional approach helped all concerned see the way to solve the problem. I am grateful for your input and highly recommend your services to anyone needing  such services.”
Richard Russell

“I had approached the mediation with very little optimism for reaching a settlement.  I was very pleasantly surprised at the successful outcome which was due in large part to your excellent mediation skills.   We appreciated your knowledge and experience in the real estate area as well as your low-key and extremely  effective way of communicating with both sides.  I would highly recommend you to other parties needing to choose a mediator.” 
Diane M. Dodds, Attorney at Law

“Working with Mark Sarni was nothing short of transformative. In a difficult residential real estate dispute, he didn’t just mediate—he dove deep, reaching below the surface to uncover the emotional pain at the heart of the conflict. My client felt utterly abandoned and extremely frustrated, as if he had “fallen through the cracks” because of the callous indifference shown by the seller and builder. Mark’s approach not only validated that hurt but also created a space where the defendants’ hearts could be opened. It was in that moment that the true magic of mediation happened, leading to a resolution that truly benefited everyone—a win for the homeowner, the seller, and the builder. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark to any attorney seeking to achieve not just settlements, but meaningful and lasting resolutions that heal as much as they resolve.”
Daniel L. Rudnick, Attorney at Law
