I have found Steve to be a very careful mediator. He is well-respected by both sides of the Bar. He takes the time to learn the nuances of the cases and arguments and often follows up after mediation sessions to ensure that a case settles.
I have worked with Steve in mediation of several challenging matters. He takes the time to understand the needs of the parties and works creatively and compassionately to help the parties resolve their differences. He is fair and reasonable and is a real asset in any mediation.
I have been using Steve since he started doing mediations full-time. Steve comes to each mediation well prepared. He goes above and beyond to try to resolve your case. If Steve is unable to resolve you case, then your case is one that should probably be tried.
Mr. Toole has stepped in on short notice to mediate my cases several times and he has always gotten the job done. He is someone my opposing counsel will always agree to mediate with. Not only is he cost conscious, but his telephonic mediation method is extremely helpful and productive in our ever too busy world.
I have had many mediations with Steve where I have represented defendants. I always thought Steve did a fine job in getting cases settled. He has a deep understanding of the litigation process and a realistic view of case value that benefits all sides. I have often recommended Steve as a mediator to insurers and municipalities that I represent.
Mr. Steven Toole provides professional, friendly and effective services as a mediator. He is able to ascertain both the case facts and barriers to settlement quickly. Then, he effectively works to bring the parties to a resolution. Not only does he get the job done, but the process leaves all parties feeling satisfied.
Many of you probably know this already, but Steve is a great mediator. I finished my first mediation with him, and he’s now at the top of my list for settling sticky claims. Half-way through, I thought for certain it wouldn’t settle, but he got it done.
Steve is a very good mediator. He works hard to get the case settled, often staying at it once the day is over and getting it done soon thereafter. I have used him many times and will continue to do so in the future.
Every attorney wants a mediator that the party in the other room will listen to. Steve is that mediator. He gets results and that’s why I continue to hire him.
I endorse Steve Toole. Steve is respected by both Plaintiffs’ and Defense attorneys alike. He is a great lawyer and mediator.
I endorse Steve. I have known him for several years. We served together on the Washington State Bar Board of Governors and he went on to be the President of the WSBA. He also served as President of the Washington State Association for Justice. He is serious about and committed to the tasks that he takes on.
Steve Toole is the kind of guy that goes the extra mile and works to get resolution even if it goes beyond the agreed upon time. Steve has ethics, character, understanding and ingenuity. I recommend him as a fine choice.
I endorse Steve Toole. He is a very effective mediator and arbitrator.
Steven Toole is one of the great mediators in the Seattle area. Every case I have mediated through Steve has settled with a satisfied client, and me as their lawyer. He goes the extra effort to settle cases including following up with the parties when settlement is not reached at the mediation. I have the highest regard for Steve.
