Testimonials

"I recently was the employer in a [workplace] mediation that Sasha led and would highly recommend her to any employer that would ask. Not only does she have the perfect demeanor for this very tough position, she has the innate ability to see the issue from both sides while staying neutral. No rushing, no pushing, just dedicated to finding a solution if at all possible. Professional and gets results!"

- Bennett Petersen, COO, Medcor, Inc. (Chicago, IL)
"I worked with Sasha on a case involving multiple parties and two cross claims.  Sasha worked diligently with these competing claims, including insurance limits issues.  The case was unresolved at the end of a day long session, but she stayed involved and all claims were resolved shortly after."

- Derek Radtke, Phillips Law Firm, PLLC (Seattle, WA)
"Sasha has the 'it' factor. She does an awesome job in conveying to the parties that their needs are being heard, understood, and considered. She is persistent and creative and settles her cases."

- Christine Kim, Buckley & Associates, P.S., Inc. (Seattle, WA)
"Sasha mediated a difficult and odd case for me that did not look like it had a solution short of trial. She quickly understand [sic] the legal implications of the case (the rules of evidence and the Dead Man's Statute were absolutely critical to understanding the risk of going forward) and worked diligently to craft an acceptable solution. She was very personable and friendly as well, and as pleasant a mediator as I have ever met. I will definitely put her on my short list of potential neutrals. I endorse Sasha Philip."

- Jason Burnett, Reed, Longyear, Malnati & Ahrens, PLLC (Seattle, WA)
"I, but especially my client, felt that you were working hard to find common ground. Her trust and confidence in you made my job easier."

"We would like to thank those involved in Bellevue's mediation program for their assistance in resolving the issue with construction of a fence.... The fence was recently constructed to everybody's satisfaction. The time, patience, and professionalism of [...] and Sasha is much appreciated."

"... Our new neighbor had never met us and was feeling very threatened by the symbolic vandalism of a cherry tree in her front yard that she suspected we were guilty of…. [Telling our stories] allowed us to step into one another's shoes for a brief moment and allowed us to see the situation through their eyes. ... Without this knowledge each of us would have continued to assume large bits of information that simply were wrong or misinterpreted. As a result the rest of the mediation was just walking through a resolution ... I don't think we would have this amazing neighborly relationship if it weren't for the City of Bellevue Mediation team. Thank you!"
