Highly Satisfied Client Base

I have found Judge Dreyfus to be a uniformly exceptional and highly qualified mediator. He is invariably well-prepared, empathetic, consistently adept at using verbal expressions, gestures, and eye contact to motivate participants to re-evaluate entrenched positions and, most importantly, experienced enough that he can help those participants discover common ground and be inventive in developing resolutions that may not be available in a litigation setting.


I give him my highest possible recommendation.


- Attorney Daniel P. Murray

Broadway Law Offices

Judge Dreyfus brings decades of experience on the bench, superior knowledge of the law and a calm even tempered demeanor to cases with litigants in emotional situations.


In particular, his presence, tone, and confidence is exactly what is needed in the high conflict emotionally charged family law case. If not for his skills as a mediator, we would still be in contentious litigation today.


I would highly recommend Judge Dreyfus to mediate/arbitrate cases.
