Troy’s classes ALWAYS deliver! All of us have attended meaningless CLE and professional training classes that we wish we hadn’t paid for or wasted time attending. Not true with Troy. Not only engaging and informative, Troy’s classes have consistently allowed me to become better at conflict resolution!

I have been to numerous mediation seminars since I became a mediator in 2001. I can say that, without a doubt, Troy's seminars top the list. Troy's teaching style, course materials, and presentation are excellent. I always feel engaged and motivated. I never feel like I'm being lectured to -- instead, I am part of the process. Having been to at least six of his seminars, I can attest that he is a gifted trainer. The time spent will go quickly and enjoyably.

Troy is an excellent mediation coach and consultant; his courses and materials are the best I have seen nationally! Troy's presentations are well-organized with clear instruction and cover a wide variety of topics and practical exercises. Troy has been an invaluable resource to my practice for many years. I highly recommend Troy, and Mediation CLE, with no hesitation.
