Many mediators are clones of each other. Tae, however, uses a different approach that seems to appeal to the parties on a more personal level which gets them to listen and move towards settlement.
Defendant attorney

Tae was able to talk to my client in a way which was easily understood and appreciated. My client told me that but for the mediator, she would never have agreed to settle.
Plaintiff attorney

One of the things that made me think was when Mr. Sture pointed out to me that peace is better for my company than war and that settlement is not much different than signing the terms of a peace treaty between the warring parties. It made me think about the company’s interests rather than my own view of things.

Patience and a willingness to listen are hallmarks of Mr. Sture’s mediation style.
Plaintiff attorney

I am not easily swayed; however, Tae talked me through the mediation process in a way which made me realize and understand the disadvantages of not settling the lawsuit as early as possible.

Tae takes as much time as needed and then some to get to an agreement.
Plaintiff attorney

I was surprised. Tae mediated the case which I didn’t think could ever be resolved.
Defendant attorney

It was very helpful that Mr. Sture had litigation and EEOC experience. That experience enhanced his credibility with the parties and helped us resolve the matter.
Defendant attorney

I understood the advantages of mediation much better after going through the mediation with Mr. Sture.
