Here’s what one party had to say about Mae Villanueva:
“I would like to commend Mae Villanueva for her mediation effort and skill that resulted in the conclusion of a multi-year dispute involving many prior civil actions and small claims cases. Though it seemed there was no possibility of common ground between the parties, she was able to negotiate a creative resolution that was acceptable to all parties. I have attended over 100 mediations as counsel of record and she performed a difficult job under pressure that many for-profit mediators would have been unable to bring to resolution. “
Mediation has a very high success rate.
Mediation saves time and money.
