What Our Clients Say

  • "Oran Kaufman was instrumental in our completing a successful mediation. He was a clear communicator. He explained the process. He guided the process. There were times when I thought that we were going to have to go to court, but he mediated our way through those rocky shoals. I honestly don't think anyone could have done a better job."
