Hear From Our Clients

I have known Adrienne for over a decade and unconditionally recommend her as a mediator. She understands both the plaintiff’s and defendant’s perspective, is fair to both sides, thoughtful and well-prepared. Her knowledge of employment law, neutrality, and demeanor help facilitate an environment conducive to settlement, and her perseverance both during, and if necessary, after, the mediation help guide the parties to a fair resolution.

Adrienne Fechter is on the top of my “A list” for mediators. She is smart, works extremely hard, and clients like her and trust what she says even when she is telling them something they don't want to hear. I have used her a number of times over the years and am continually impressed. I have hired some very highly credentialed, expensive mediators who clearly did not read the mediation materials and just shuttled numbers between parties. I have never had that experience with Adrienne. In fact, she typically does her own independent research and often points out issues or concerns that no one else has identified. I would highly recommend her in any type of employment case.

Adrienne Fechter is a superbly effective mediator. Both sides of the aisle trust her. She is diligent and thorough in her preparation before mediation, and creative, thoughtful, and tenacious in her efforts to bring resolution to fruition. Her honesty, nuance, and knowledge ensure both sides understand the strengths and weaknesses of their respective claims and defenses – a must. She is both forceful but compassionate. In the end, this combination of skills, traits, and effort make her one of the most successful mediators we use.

Adrienne Fechter is my first choice when it comes to mediation of an employment dispute. She becomes intimately familiar with every case and knows the key facts driving the dispute as well as counsel. Adrienne has the experience to know when it is appropriate to push a client, and when it is time to back off. Adrienne actively listens to all sides, which is invaluable as my clients universally find her views to be credible. Finally, Adrienne is dogged in her pursuit of settlement. She has settled cases for me months after all parties thought that mediation failed. I know that when Adrienne is our mediator that we have the best chance of reaching a settlement.

I choose Adrienne Fechter to mediate my employment cases because she brings a deep, nuanced understanding of employment law and always makes me feel confident the case is in capable hands. Her calm, professional demeanor allows her to build trust and connect equally well with both sides, guiding the parties toward resolution. With Adrienne, clients feel comfortable to share important details about their case and leave mediation feeling confident that the best result was reached.

Adrienne is one of my “go to” mediators for complex employment cases. She has a wonderful ability to both convey empathy for what my clients go through and provide a realistic evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the case. Then, when it comes to actually getting the parties to settle, she is tenacious and creative – two great qualities for any mediator.

Adrienne is an incredibly effective mediator. More important than her success rate, however, is her ability to really hear both sides of the story and cut through the pain and egos. Adrienne approaches every case with empathy, compassion, and genuine curiosity. And clients really feel that. I’ve had many cases where clients insist they will not be happy (or willing) to settle below a certain amount, and by the end of a mediation with Adrienne they are not only willing to take a more reasonable approach, but they are genuinely at peace with the outcome. She truly has a gift. On top of it all, Adrienne comes to her mediations incredibly prepared, not only having reviewed the mediation statements, but after doing her own research, which allows for an even more effective day. I would strongly recommend Adrienne in any case.
Laura B. Wolf
Spark Justice Law LLC
Adrienne is an excellent mediator. She has a deep understanding of employment law and has helped resolve several difficult cases in which the parties were far apart and settlement seemed unlikely. She is always well-prepared and takes time to talk to me before every mediation so she fully understands the issues and my clients’ positions. I also appreciate her unflappably calm demeanor and ability to inject humor into situations that often seem anything but funny. I will use her again on my hard cases.

Adrienne Fechter is a smart, prepared and experienced mediator. Her in-depth knowledge of employment law is a significant asset in mediation. That knowledge, combined with her excellent demeanor and persistence, was critical in settling several difficult employment law disputes for which I was counsel.

Adrienne Fechter is a highly skilled mediator who has a great track record of resolving cases for my clients. Adrienne is always well-prepared and knowledgeable about the facts of the case and the relevant law, and she works extremely hard to help the parties find resolution even in the most contentious cases. As a bonus, Adrienne is also a lovely person who always treats the parties and the attorneys with respect and kindness. I would recommend Adrienne for any mediation.

I’ve worked with Adrienne in multiple mediations, representing both employers and former employees. Her combination of specialized legal knowledge, skill, and persistence is invaluable. She’s the ideal choice for resolving difficult cases.
Meghan W. Martinez
Martinez Law Group
In a word, Adrienne is effective. Because of her background as an employment law attorney, she quickly recognizes the core issues in an employment dispute and—importantly—can address the parties' assessment of a case's monetary value. Adrienne also has that rare ability to empathize with a party, which instills trust and confidence in the mediation process. Finally, Adrienne is committed to working as long and as hard as necessary to resolve a dispute. I recommend her as a mediator without reservation.
Alan Garber
The Garber Law Firm, P.C
Adrienne is one of the very best of the many great mediators we have ever had the opportunity to employ. She is shockingly smart. She comes to each mediation knowing all the facts and all the law. Due to her meticulous preparation, Adrienne understands the parties and their motivations before she even meets them. She is tireless. She has great positive energy and is tenacious. All of this of course makes her entirely persuasive with both sides. We have used her in complex, emotional cases with intransigent parties and she has resolved them each and every time. Her deep knowledge and experience as an employment lawyer having represented both plaintiffs and defendants is invaluable to reaching settlement. I recommend her without reservation!!!

Adrienne did an excellent job mediating our case. I really valued how well she was able to recognize the dynamics of the two sides. She not only understood the key legal issues, but really appreciated the different needs of the parties. Adrienne was also willing to be flexible; rather than following a cookie-cutter approach, she tailored the mediation to meet the needs of the parties and drive a successful resolution. In my almost 20 years of practice, it was one of the most efficient and productive mediations I have ever attended. We not only settled the case, but walked out with a signed, final settlement agreement. I highly recommend Adrienne for employment mediations.

Mediating with Adrienne has been a consistently positive experience for me and my clients. She comes prepared, having thoroughly reviewed all of the parties’ submissions, and ready to dive into the salient facts and legal issues. She deftly handles strong personalities and other barriers to settlement with empathy, candor, and creativity. My clients walk away feeling validated and heard and with a settlement that they can feel good about. I highly recommend her!

I have mediated with Adrienne on a number of employment matters in both the Atlanta and Denver areas, some of which were very complicated and/or hotly contested. She has handled each one with relative ease and is extremely deft at dealingwith all types of litigants and counsel. I have been mediating across the country for many years and Adrienne is the brightest and sharpest I have had the pleasure to work with, and recommend her without hesitation.
