The Following is just a small example of the many accolades Joe has received:
“I am a former Chief of Civil Court Programs for the New Jersey Judiciary and oversaw the Civil Mediation Program since its inception. Joe Ventola advanced very quickly as a civil mediator. His reputation and impressive settlement rate is well known in many counties where he mediates. I would estimate that his performance easily ranks in the top 15% – 20% on the civil roster of mediators. I have received numerous letters expressing accolades from both satisfied parties and respected attorneys concerning Joe’s handling of their matters. He mediates with passion, intelligence and a genuine desire to help parties to a dispute reach an accord. He is an asset to the NJ Civil Mediation Program.” – Michelle V. Perone, Esq. Former Chief NJ Civil Court Programs
“Highly professional and even handed” – Stuart Wolk , Esq, retired Brigadier General, Former US Magistrate
“Mr. Ventola mediated a LAD case my firm handled as defense counsel. I found him to be quite effective. He was well prepared going into the mediation, and fully familiarized himself with the facts involved and the parties’ respective positions. Although the parties couldn’t agree to a settlement at the mediation, he diligently followed up with both sides afterward until the matter was settled. I found Mr. Ventola’s involvement, and particularly his tenacity, to be very helpful in obtaining a favorable resolution. He was professional, pragmatic, and as aggressive (though not combative) as he needed to be to get the job done. He was well-versed in the substantive and procedural law, which was helpful insofar as he was able to weigh and explain the risk to both sides in a nuanced an comprehensive manner. I would certainly utilize Mr. Ventola’s services again, and have recommended him to other attorneys in my firm.” – Brett Halloran, Esq, Fox Rothschild
“Joe Ventola served as a Mediator for an LAD case which I had filed in Middlesex County on behalf of a woman discharged by her employer. Joe was a pleasure to work with. He had a thorough grasp of the law and fostered an atmosphere in which a difficult case was able to settle. I had a client who was quite emotional and Joe was able to defuse some of that emotion with a sympathetic but realistic approach. I would welcome the opportunity to use his services again.” – Harry Kane, Esq , Saffren and Weinberg
“One of the best mediators I have dealt with in my 13 years of practicing law” – Ben Tartaglia, Esq
“A highly effective and talented Mediator” – Willard Gellar, Esq.
“Joe mediated a settlement in a complex civil fraud matter in which I represented the plaintiff. I have been involved in mediations for nearly 15 years both as a litigator and as a mediator myself. I was very impressed with his style and willingness to attack the problem in several different ways. I will certainly utilize his services in the future” – Chris Farella, Esq
“Joe settled a very difficult matter in which I represented the plaintiff. Since then, he is the only mediator/arbitrator I will use” – Robert Correale, Esq, Brady and Correale
“Joe is well versed and intuitive in relating to people of various personality and communication styles. This is a significant factor in his success in taking a contentious dispute and settling it” – Dr. Lynn Hanson
“A Talented Mediator, I refer him to colleagues and send cases to him often” – John Kwasnik, Esq
“I was very impressed with Joe’s skill as a mediator. He really knows how to “work” a case and move adverse parties toward a settlement. I will gladly make use of his mediation skills in future matters” – Ernie Wildenhain, Esq
“I observed one of Joe’s mediations as he is also a mentor mediator. He settled a very difficult case and received glowing accolades from both counsel and the parties. The accolades were very well deserved.” – March Rogoff, Esq
“It was a thorough pleasure working with you as mediator. You were persistent and ultimately successful in bringing both sides to the table with creative settlement proposals. If it had not been for your efforts I am confident my client would still be in litigation! I gladly recommend you and will not hesitate to call upon your services in the future.” – Jonathan R. Miller, Esq. , Wong Fleming http://yoss.com/professional.asp?cod=670
