Please be advised that NAM will be performing routine maintenance from 8:00pm, Friday, June 25, 2021 to 1:00am, Saturday, June 26, 2021. The PFLA and myADR websites will be offline during that time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

“The use of Zoom technology at NAM was seamless. During a very difficult time, my firm was able to resolve a multi-plaintiff and multi-defendant case in an efficient way. Mediator, Richard Byrne, had great understanding of the technology and it allowed all parties to feel comfortable and negotiate as though we were live and in- person. Kudos to NAM for being on top of technology at this time.”

“Pena and Kahn has had five mediations via video conferencing with NAM and every one of them settled. It was an amazing experience, just like being in NAM’s conference rooms. The IT staff was super friendly and patient while helping me navigate the Zoom platform. I am now a pro and can’t believe it took a pandemic to discover the future. Life as we know it has shifted. VirtualNAM!”

“Just wanted to provide you with little feedback on my experience today with Virtual ADR at NAM. It was flawless. I must admit, I had trepidations about proceeding with a virtual arbitration because I thought the lack of personal contact would result in a loss of effectiveness, but I was wrong.”

I will not hesitate to use it again. “

“Like many of my colleagues, I was skeptical about virtually mediating cases, as I feel an important component of mediation involves in-person interaction with the mediator, opposing attorney and adjuster.

After using the Zoom application through NAM to successfully mediate a few of my cases, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by the experience…. I would highly recommend virtual mediations to anyone who has any doubts about the experience.”

“I have been using NAM for close to twenty years and have been with them from their small beginnings in Long Island to their current position as one of the most successful ADR companies in the United States. As they grew in size I expected there would be a decline in the level of service. However, the service was exceptional from the start and it has continuously improved. NAM services its clients with personal care in a way that cannot be explained.”

“I find the video conferencing process to be a seamless transition from in-person mediations. As an attorney who uses the mediation forum hundreds of times a year, I couldn’t be happier with the process and the services provided by NAM.”

“In the midst of uncertain times and court closures, NAM has kept our industry working and resolving cases through virtual ADR. Their level of service remains unparalleled! I recently participated in a virtual mediation and I have to say the process was efficient and effortless. My neutral was able to control all parties as they would in-person…. I would strongly recommend scheduling virtual hearings with NAM.”

“As an attorney who has used NAM for over 20 years, I have always been impressed with the quality of their mediators. NAM makes it cost efficient to resolve cases. With their use of a seamless ZOOM technology, mediating a case remotely with NAM could not be easier.”

“I recently participated in two arbitrations before Judge Elizabeth Bonina. It was my first virtual arbitration and it most certainly will not be my last. It was everything that I was promised it would be. Using the link provided by NAM, I joined the meeting within seconds. The audio and video quality was superb. Judge Bonina was well trained in the technology and had perfect command throughout the meeting. Both arbitrations were flawless. I highly recommend using this option during these difficult times and beyond.”

“I had my reservations about the video mediation – especially with 11 participants – but I was very impressed with the way it was conducted and the ease with which we moved around in the virtual break out rooms and in private discussions with the mediator. I am now a believer and a fan.”

“I have taken part in three video conference mediations with multiple mediators with NAM. The process has been seamless and we were able to resolve all three of these cases. Instead of being in different physical rooms, you’re placed into a separate virtual room where there is complete privacy. I highly recommend this process as it has now been tested for multiple weeks with much success.”

“NAM has always been an excellent provider of ADR in the legal community. Hon. Peter B. Skelos (Ret.) is both an impartial and exceptional mediator, relating to all parties and fostering meaningful discussion and resolution. Recently, in light of the unprecedented times we find ourselves in, our firm has had the opportunity to be a part of several mediations conducted remotely by NAM with Judge Skelos. The technology has been efficient and the format well suited to successful negotiation. Many thanks to the entire team at NAM!”

I also want to thank NAM’s staff which has provided this office with excellent service. I look forward to dealing with National Arbitration and Mediation for many years to come.”

“NAM is by far the most organized and helpful of the companies in its field. In less than 5 minutes our case manager will get all the info he needs from you and will get your case set up to fit your requirements. I have been handling only PI cases for over 25 years. I only go with NAM.”

“NAM has been instrumental in assisting my firm for over fifteen years in resolving personal injury claims and law suits both small and large. Their list of arbitrators and mediators is sufficiently large and comprehensive enough to satisfy the needs and requirements of both plaintiff counsel and the defense… I can’t begin to list all the numerous cases which we have prosecuted over the many years and have been resolved through the help of NAM and my Account Executive.”

The administrative staffs has always been responsive to any of my concerns and always responds to my communications quickly.”

The NAM staff epitomizes the concepts of collaboration and teamwork. I can honestly say they are one company I hope to stay connected with in this changing business world.”

Referring to our mediation of 12/9, I am happy to advise that the case settled for $1M. Thank you for your many hours of assistance.”

It goes without saying that I would not hesitate to use Judge DiBlasi in the future for any of my mediation or arbitration needs.”
