Ron, I can\u2019t thank you enough for your hard work. As you know, we attempted mediation once before, so I\u2019m confident in saying it couldn\u2019t have settled without you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Ron, thank you for your hard work on this mediation. I don\u2019t think any other mediators could have resolved this case.\u00a0 Look forward to working with you many more times in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

\n

Thank you, Ron. I really appreciate all the work you put into this one. I can honestly say you are at the very top of my list of best mediators I have worked with. While I\u2019m sure you already have an overflow of cases, I\u2019ll certainly be recommending you to everyone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

After a long day of mediation which resulted in progress, but no final settlement, Ron continued to work with the parties for the next 2 weeks. The parties reached a full settlement of all issues in the case, and this was the result, almost exclusively, of Ron\u2019s persuasion, perseverance and just plain hard work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

\n

This was one of the most challenging mediations I\u2019ve ever seen. The parties were bitter enemies who had been at each other\u2019s throats in lawsuits dating back more than five years, and my client\u2019s family business was threatened with extinction in the current trial. Ron\u2019s work was, in a word, MASTERFUL.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Ron is among the most skilled advocates I have encountered. I know of few other lawyers who could have represented the clients\u2019 interests the way Ron did, and fewer still who could have obtained the results he got for his clients. I give Ron my highest recommendation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

There are few, if any, mediators that possess Ron\u2019s trial skills and experience, and this is part of what gives him such credibility and effectiveness in mediation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Ron, thank you so much for your compassion, patience, and perspective. We would not have reached a resolution without your skill and steady hand. Well done.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

In more than 2 decades of litigation practice, I\u2019ve never seen a harder working, more effective mediator than Ron Bankston.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Our firm has used Ron Bankston to mediate a number of cases over the years. He is attentive, respectful, diplomatic and totally engaged \u2014 with the parties, the attorneys and the issues in the case. And he gets the job done.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

\n[Ron] displayed a broad and deep knowledge of substantive law, tempered with a keen appreciation of the realities of the courthouse. But he also diagnosed the parties\u2019 respective needs and acute sensitivities, and threaded a path toward reconciling those which quite literally brought the parties to a respectful handshake (and appropriate documentation) of a final settlement agreement that mooted the trial and all the years of previous litigation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

\n

As a trial judge, when I referred cases to mediation, it was very rare for me to suggest a mediator, preferring the parties and attorneys to select their own mediator. However, on those occasions when I did suggest a mediator, in the most difficult, polarized cases, Ron Bankston was my recommendation, hands-down. And I can\u2019t think of a single one of those cases that he did not get settled.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

Ron is as fine a mediator as I\u2019ve seen in almost 30 years of active trial practice in Houston.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

\n[Ron] worked extremely hard in a case we had for over a year to get it resolved. Very impressive. I highly recommended.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>
