"I cannot thank you enough (Steven Muller) for the wonderful job you did on my behalf. You presented my case with such confidence and expertise, it immediately put me at ease. You were awesome! I feel really fortunate to have had you as my lawyer. Your quiet voice, calm, and slow speaking manner helped me to calm down and retain all that was going on. You were giving great advice and lots of encouragement along the way. Your negotation skills were brilliant! I have never seen anything like it before. My former experience at mediation with the union and the hospital was the complete opposite."
