“When two of my friends from church were set on going to court to resolve a construction dispute, I strongly recommended that they first meet with Samuel for mediation.

Thankfully, they agreed to meet with Samuel first as seeking mediation from a fellow Christian before escalating the matter to a government-owned court is the biblical model.

During our meeting, Samuel's extensive expertise in resolving these kinds of issues was evident as he helped both parties gain a higher level of clarity about the other party's perspective and challenges. Although emotions were high in this high-stakes dispute, both parties walked away from the meeting with a fresh resolve to make peace.”
