“Tom has all the qualities that make an exceptional mediator. He is thoughtful, smart, creative, and relentless. He recently mediated a case all parties were sure had no hope of resolution. His persistence and ability to communicate well with all involved were instrumental in resolving the unresolvable. I endorse Tom without hesitation.”
- Harry Safarian, The Safarian Firm
“Tom Crosby is effective for a wide range of reasons.
First, he has incredible patience and shows no frustration when parties are stubborn or unreasonable. He calmly plows through it. His calmness brings my clients, and sometimes me, back to reason and off the ledge.
Second, he has the credibility needed to persuade the defense they may be undervaluing a case due to him having worked on the defense side for many years. Despite having practiced primarily on the defense side, he not a defense lackey. He will not suggest a good case is bad, and will not try to tell you the injuries are "only soft tissue." In fact, he represented plaintiffs as well with some fantastic results.
He knows the law well and tried cases.
I have mediated with several hundred mediators over the past two decades, and Tom is who I call upon and trust for my most difficult and valuable cases."
- Nikolaus W. Reed, Esq.
“Tom Crosby has emerged as one of the most effective mediators in California. He has a high kill percentage and is relentless when he senses there is a way to shut down a case. Has the ability to close down other cases where other mediators have already failed.”
- David Hart, Plaintiff's Attorney
“I have been a plaintiff's attorney for over forty years. I met Tom Crosby years ago when he was opposing counsel on a very contentious case. We fought like cats and dogs during the litigation. Years later he was a court assigned mediator. He was smart, compassionate, and empathetic. My client liked and trusted him. I have since voluntarily used Tom on numerous occasions. I would recommend him to any plaintiff or defense counsel for effective mediation.”
- Joel Seigal, Plaintiff’s Attorney
“I’ve had such excellent experiences using Tom Crosby. He’s exceptionally knowledgeable, very fair to all parties, and brings genuine empathy to every client interaction. He works diligently, communicates thoughtfully, and follows up after mediation to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.”
