Testimonials

Tanya did a fantastic job mediating a case for me. Both parties were far apart when the mediation began, and entrenched in their positions. Despite significant challenges, she worked creatively to reach a resolution — and got us there well before the mediation was scheduled to end. I highly recommend her.
Ben Pope, Shareholder, Littler Mendelson
Tanya Tate has served as a mediator in a few of my cases, and each time, I was very impressed by her ability to quickly discern the fundamental issues in the case. She is able to focus the parties on a realistic understanding of their respective positions, while also addressing the risks and costs inherent in litigation. Ms. Tate’s informal but direct style and her skilled guidance of the parties’ discussions foster resolution in even the seemingly “hopeless” cases. She is smart, accommodating, patient, creative, and extremely helpful during the mediation process. Ms. Tate’s fees are very reasonable, and the parties definitely received significant value for the money.
Jaime Theriot, Esq.
Tanya mediated a series of employment claims between the EEOC and a defendant that were both complex and contentious. Her knowledge of the law and her experience, having represented individuals as well as employers, was instrumental in the parties reaching a resolution that I am not sure could have been reached without her assistance.
Steven A. Wagner, Senior Trial Attorney
Tanya recently mediated an employment dispute for us. She is very professional, personable, knowledgeable, and made our client very comfortable with the process. She was able to effectively help bring the issue to a resolution.
Josh Joel, Goodman McGuffey LLP
Tanya is a highly skilled third party investigator who is professional, courteous, responsive and helpful. She knows her subject matter inside and out. Tanya has investigated several challenging employment matters for us and we have always been happy with the results. I highly recommend Tanya, especially for any complicated or multi-party employment matter.
Michael Christman, SPHR
Tanya, thanks for all the energy and effort you put into getting my case resolved. You were absolutely the greatest.
Max Richardson, Esq.
Tanya did a great job for us mediating a very contentious business dispute. She had knowledge of the law that gave her credibility with the parties and worked hard to get all sides to thoughtfully consider our respective positions and the benefits of an agreed upon outcome. I will definitely use her again for mediation and recommend her to others for business cases.
Jeffery DeLoach, Partner
I recently used Tanya in a mediation and was very satisfied with her services. Not only was she adequately prepared, she handled my client well and assured him that his voice was being heard. Not only do I highly recommend Tanya, I will be using her services again.
Adeash Lakraj, Esq.
Tanya does an outstanding job as a mediator and I recommend her without hesitation. She is evaluative and takes the time to really learn your case. She is well versed in employment law, which adds to her effectiveness.
Carole Miller, Member of Bressler
Tanya was very helpful, especially after the formal mediation. She stayed involved, and provided suggestions and advice to both sides until an agreement was reached.
Harvey R. Linder, Adjunct Professor, Emory University School of Law/Attorney
Tanya has mediated several Title VII and FLSA cases for me and has done a great job!
