Testimonial

Dear Ms. Perry-Meier, I wish to acknowledge the professionalism and calm you exhibited in the face of rude insults and provocation during today’s Mediation. I take responsibility for my failure to rein in the inflammatory rhetoric of Mr. Hedrick. During a formal Arbitration, such behavior would have cost Mr. Hedrick’s client some or all of her cause.

Regarding Ms. Clarke’s Bar matter, I am ready, willing and able to provide whatever assistance I may in helping Amie navigate the bureaucratic shoals. Ms. Clarke is a decent, hard-working and capable attorney. Likewise you. Our mutual profession is the better for attorneys such as you and Ms. Clarke. Do NOT allow the rudeness of others to make either of you bitter or “harsh”. Their behavior is their responsibility. Again, what I witnessed today was an eminently professional and competent Counsel refusing to be bullied. I wish you every success. If there is to be a healthy future in the profession of law, it rests with attorneys such as you and Amie.
