A seasoned and thoughtful mediator for a complex family dispute

My siblings and I were facing a difficult and emotionally charged division of our late parents' estate, which included a family business. We needed a neutral, experienced professional to guide us through mediation before the situation escalated to litigation. Mr. Reck was highly recommended, and his 58 years of legal experience, particularly his focus on mediation and arbitration, was immediately evident. His background from Harvard and recognition by Best Lawyers gave us confidence in his expertise. He skillfully facilitated our discussions, allowing each voice to be heard while keeping us focused on practical, fair solutions. His deep understanding of Massachusetts law and his calm, patient demeanor were invaluable in helping us reach a settlement that preserved our relationships. The process was thorough, and his guidance was wise. The only minor critique is that, given his stature and demand, scheduling follow-up sessions sometimes required a bit more lead time than we initially anticipated. Overall, we are profoundly grateful for his help in navigating this challenging chapter.
