Joseph Stengel, Esq.
Evans Case, LLP

“I have used Hope Mediation on several cases each involving different legal issues. Each time Mr. Hope was well prepared and presented a thorough analysis and patience at the mediation session.  The work promoted resolutions that were highly satisfactory.  Mr. Hope’s fees were very reasonable and made the sessions a success.  I would recommend his services”.

Bradley D. Hill, Esq.

“Ken Hope mediated several of my clients’ civil litigation cases.  He was always thoroughly prepared, professional and effective.  Although not all of these cases ultimately settled, in each case Ken was able to identify each party’s core motivations and suggest strategies to reach an agreement that genuinely accounted for each party’s interests”.

McAllister Garfield, P.C.
Denver

“Ken Hope is an experienced mediator.  He is always well prepared and makes our clients feel at ease in his approach to the mediation process.  His success rate is very high and we would recommend him as a mediator in any type of dispute”.

Harry L. Simon, Esq.
Law Office of Harry L. Simon
Denver

“Ken Hope did a masterful job in a recent mediation for me.  It came out of a probate proceeding with claims of oral contracts and liens.  The parties were at such odds that the mediation needed to be conducted in separate rooms.  With his extensive legal experience he was able to explain to both parties the positive and negative legal aspects of their position.  Due to his assistance the matter was resolved by a half day of mediation rather than a two day trial.”

James Anderson, Esq.
Aurora

“Ken Hope is a wonderful mediator.  I have had quite a few cases with him as a mediator and he is fair to both sides, realistic and genuinely wants to help the parties avoid trial.  Because Ken is also an attorney, he understands the complexities and legal consequences of the case.  When I need a mediator, he’s the first on my list!”

Yosy Janson
Vargo and Janson
Lakewood

“I have used Ken for several mediations and he has consistently helped broker a cost effective resolution to the dispute.  While Ken is affable and able to handle even the most difficult personalities, his strongest quality is the ability to offer insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a case.  His decades of experience gives him considerable perspective and credibility which are often helpful to a client who seeks an evaluation of a claim by a third party.  I would strongly recommend Ken as a mediator.”

Colin Baumschen
Woods & Aitken LLP

“Ken has a wide range of experience and has served as a mediator in a number of my cases ranging from family law to business disputes. Having read everything, Ken is always prepared.  Besides his commitment to preparation, Ken has other stellar qualities that are important for a mediator.  First, he cares about the people and is a very good listener. My clients have related to him because he takes the time to understand them and their goals while still maintaining his credibility as a neutral.  Secondly, he will push back if he doesn’t think a particular position is tenable, but never does so in a disrespectful or uncaring way. Although we have shared cases that have not settled, those are in a minority compared to the number of difficult cases that he has somehow gotten settled.  I will absolutely continue recommending him to my clients and opposing counsel as someone we should consider asking to serve as a mediator.”
