What lawyers are saying about Eleanor Barr:

Eleanor has a dazzling ability to manage all the various difficult personalities in a complex case, while simultaneously grasping, managing, and maneuvering among the numerous interests and positions that those difficult personalities bring with them to the mediation process. On several occasions, I have watched her pull a settlement out of what looked to be a hopeless, snarling mass of litigants, while all the while maintaining her composure and her sense of humor. She's not a screamer and doesn't bully the mediation participants; rather, she comes across as strong, understanding, and supremely reasonable. She is well versed in the realities of business, legal procedure, substantive law, and, crucially, insurance coverage. More importantly, she has a seemingly limitless ability to convert that understanding into creative, practical solutions to the particular issues presented by a given case.
