Ms. Axelrod Serves As A Court Appointed Judge Pro Tempore / Settlement Master and Receiver
Ms. Axelrod continues to settle cases in her role as a Court appointed Judge Pro Tempore (JPT). In fact, she has managed to settle all but three of the cases that have come before her since she started serving as a JPT in 2016. Recently, Ms. Axelrod settled a matter involving 10 parties represented by 6 law firms. For this complex work, Ms. Axelrod was given the following recommendation by an attorney in the case, Scott Rothman:
“Sheryl served as mediator in a complex real estate litigation case, involving ten parties and six law firms. The parties and their respective counsel viewed a resolution as unlikely heading into a mediation session. Sheryl came prepared with a firm grasp of complicated facts and a good understanding of some atypical issues of law. By the end of the day, what seemed impossible became a reality, a settlement was accomplished, and an expensive trial proceeding was averted. I would recommend Sheryl for mediation services for both her knowledge of substantive law and expertise with dispute resolution.”
