We recently worked with Devlin through the mediation process, and in doing so had a great experience with him. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, impartial, timely, and extremely meticulous with detail. This consequently ensured our full understanding of the process and that we had completed everything appropriately. We highly recommend Devlin as a great resource for mediation!
