[@womanofacertainage5892]

David Hoffman is an amazing lawyer and peacemaker. I am lucky enough to have met him in person. He encouraged me to become a mediator and collaborative attorney and I have, thanks in large part to his leadership and encouragement.

As David Hoffman wisely tells us, peace is a journey we must ALL take together. Thank you for this inspiring talk! I hope your personal journey, David, becomes a model for many, many others in the field.

Thank you so much for your presentation. I was in psychoanalysis with a psychologist that completely demolished my career, my maternity, and my entire life with full impunity from her corporation and association. Her capitalists lawyers that defended her at the detriment of the truth and justice. She made them send me a gagsuit if if I try to harrass her. I was left totally devastated. No justice, they totally ignored me, my crying out out of desparation. Even a lawyer I consulted said to me that if her corporation did not accept the complaint no judge will. I tried to survive as long as I could, until one day, I couldn't keep up. I gave everything up and left. I was sure I would dye out of emotional pain. Never resolved. She went on happily as a winner and made w success of her career. What a mess! What a terrible mess!

Mediation is not for wimps. Often in takes more courage to see a higher resolution than the default win/lose of litigation.
