"Judge Zeltzer was very even-keeled and understanding. People come in, and they have an emotional investment in their case, and sometimes that balloon has to be allowed to deflate a little bit before people get realistic. There were some complicated personalities involved, and I think she managed to cut through the fog on that front. And she was able to get them to a place that everybody could live with, and we managed to settle it."
"Judge Zeltzer really does put in the effort to make both parties feel like they're heard and they're understood. If you're looking for someone that genuinely cares to get the case resolved for you, she's going to do that. She's going to work tirelessly on both sides to try and find a resolution."
"During our mediation, we each provided her our understanding and support and analysis for what we believed the implications of the new law were. And Judge Zeltzer ultimately weighed in and said, 'Listen, I hear you. I hear both sides, and ultimately, I think this is what it really means, and this is how it's going to be interpreted and these are the implications.' So she did give us some very substantive feedback on that issue, which in the end was really helpful."
"Judge Zeltzer recently resolved a complex business dispute featuring difficult personalities. Those personalities were definitely involved along with their emotions, and nobody was willing to give an inch. And she was nevertheless able to resolve it. There are mediators, and then there are go-to mediators, and Judge Zeltzer is a go-to mediator. She's very sharp. She's very insightful. She's very considered. And she knows how in my room to make me feel exposed on my arguments, and I know - just because of the result - that she does likewise when she's in the other room. If you want to use someone who is very careful about spending your money and getting you a cost-effective and efficient result, then she should definitely be at the top of your list."
"Judge Zeltzer was balanced in her approach with both parties. She conveyed an interest in my client's experience and sympathized with him while also explaining the strengths and weaknesses of his claim. Conversely, she clarified to the defense the merits of the claim and the financial common sense in reaching a resolution. Ultimately the parties came to a satisfactory settlement."
