"Judge Horn was not a time waster. That's something you don't always see from mediators. They will often tell anecdotal stories that don't really relate to the case and some of their own experiences on the bench that don't really relate to the case. Judge Horn just got the information he needed and moved back into the other room with the defense and kept the negotiations moving promptly."
"Judge Horn is definitely familiar with how cases would be viewed by a jury. He brings that real-life application to the case, so people can understand where they stand. And he just goes about it in a real gentlemanly way. He's not the type to try and beat somebody up. It's more like gentlemanly persuasion."
"Judge Horn operated with a friendly demeanor and didn't come off as a stiff, robed judge. He built a good rapport with the client and made the client feel comfortable. Client are often very concerned and stressed about the process because it's new to them, and he made the client feel comfortable and more at ease throughout the entire mediation."
"Judge Horn understands the law, which you don’t always get. He understands the reality and the situation. He’s willing to work with the parties, and he does it firmly without being overbearing about it. I just think he’s able to convince people as to what is an intelligent decision.”
"I think Judge Horn is very smart, and I think he really has a great demeanor. I think he gets the parties to respect and trust him, which is very important in a mediator.”
