• “When I have a mediation before Ronnie, I am confident that she knows the facts, the law and the personalities of the all involved and will work tirelessly to bring the sides together in a fair and reasoned manner. She also possesses a rare gift for a mediator, empathy. By understanding the perspective of the parties, the attorneys and carriers, she is uniquely suited to resolve the most complex and most emotional cases.”

• "I have done well over two dozen difficult mediations in medical malpractice cases with Ms. Gallina. She is consistently well prepared and energetic. Her clear and unswerving goal is to achieve a settlement and she meets that goal almost every time. I am constantly impressed with Ms. Gallina’s enthusiastic approach and her stamina to get the job done, no matter how long it takes or how hard she has to work. She is creative in her arguments and very persuasive. She relates very well to vastly divergent personalities, is empathetic and kind, yet tough and resolute. She has an excellent temperament and is very patient. Ms. Gallina is charming, real, down to earth and a very quick study. She is well liked by both plaintiffs and defendants, which shows her impartiality and dedication to a successful mediation. Ms. Gallina is the quintessential mediator; a hardworking, smart person with great analytic skills and an engaging personality.”

• “This note is to discuss my opinion of Ronnie B. Gallina as a mediator. Our firm handles plaintiffs’ personal injury and medical malpractice litigation. Ronnie Gallina has completed four mediations for us to date. In three of the four cases, the defense attorney requested that we use her as a mediator. I have found her to be totally impartial, extraordinarily intelligent and knowledgeable in the analysis of personal injury cases, and extremely fair in her recommendations for settlement. She is not afraid to tell either side that an argument is inappropriate, and she has a totally practical outlook which has resulted in settlements of each of the cases that we have had before her. She is a person who should be extremely beneficial to any attorney on either side of the fence who wants a fair and intelligent analysis of his or her case and a mediator with strong “people skills” who can effectuate a settlement.”

• “I have been practicing law for over thirty-five years, have participated in scores of mediations and negotiated hundreds of cases. In my opinion, there is no better nor more skilled mediator than Ronnie Gallina. I have mediated numerous cases with Ronnie Gallina that have included cases with complex legal and medical issues. I do not recall any case that I have mediated with her which has not resolved at mediation. Ms. Gallina’s preparation is always impeccable. She studies all submissions, including exhibits, and asks relevant, probing questions of all parties. She understands the strengths and weaknesses of each party’s position. It is my experience that Ronnie Gallina’s demeanor, temperament, intelligence and persistence to achieve a fair and just result that all parties are happy with have been the hallmark of her success as a mediator.”
