Mr. Corcoran has been tireless in his development of a well respected mediation service of the highest character and trust he has gone through multiple rounds of formal education, as well as a professional lifetime of experience. He is gracious, welcoming and a good communicator. Clients appreciate and like him. They trust him.

“…I have had many cases over the years mediated by Mr. Corcoran with a very high degree of success. In fact, the highest compliment that I can pay Tim is that he is my mediator of choice regardless of issues or complexity of the case.
What separates Tim from most other mediators is his unique ability to convince both attorneys and litigants to see the benefits of settlement over the risks of trial-it seems obvious, but it is much easier said than done…”

“…I have known Mr. Corcoran approximately 12 years and have had the opportunity of using his professional services as a mediator in over 50 mediations during this time.
Mr. Corcoran has always conducted his mediations in a very professional manner and with the dignity expected by both counsel and litigants in civil litigation cases. I have always found his abilities to be exceptional In the handling of the law, medical issues and the personalities of the parties involved in the cases ranging from numerous parties with complex legal, insurance coverage and medical issues to those of more simple factual and damage issues. In all cases I have found his handling of the matter to be exemplary.
As an attorney primarily representing the Plaintiff I have always appreciated the time and effort Mr. Corcoran has dedicated to making my clients feel completely comfortable and satisfied with the mediation process. His efforts in this regard have greatly assisted in the resolution of cases that would most likely not have settled but for this effort.
I have found his insights into mediation and conflict resolution to be particularly helpful in resolving cases. I candidly must admit to having adopted some of Mr. Corcoran’s methods to assist me in my practice.
I have found in my interaction with fellow members of the bar that Mr. Corcoran is universally held in high esteem…”

“…I have known Tim for over 20 years. During that time I have seen him grow professionally and develop what is now a very well-established arbitration and mediation service in Redlands, California.
I have personally had Tim sit as a mediator or arbitrator on more than 20 cases. Those cases involved matters which had simple fact patterns to very complicated fact patterns. I found on each occasion that Tm was a very able mediator who was willing to put in time and effort to bring the parties together for a meaningful resolution.
His demeanor and professionalism set him apart from many others who conduct such hearings. I know personally that he has continued his education in this area attempting to keep him fresh and knowledgeable in terms of the best techniques available to assist the parties in resolving their issues.
Quite frequently I am asked to recommend an arbitrator or mediator to various attorneys within the Inland Empire. When asked, I am always pleased to recommend Tim for those services knowing that he will act as a neutral and attempt to the best of his abilities to resolve the issues before him…”

“…In the last 12 months I have appeared in front of Tim Corcoran as our chosen mediator no less than 6 times and dozens more in the last 5 years.
He is one of the highest working and most professional mediators I have had the privilege of working with. He is tireless in his approach and will not let anyone rest until all the facts are out and hidden agendas exposed. I have gone hours over our scheduled time and on other occasions, because of this style and ability to form close relationships with the attorneys and clients before him, have settled cases in less than an hour. These are cases that would not have otherwise settled.
He is the only mediator that I use in the Inland Empire and the only one that I have used in the last 3 or 4 years in the area.”
…He is known as an A+ mediator…”

"...I want to send you this letter to thank you for the professional and excellent manner in which you handled the mediation on the above case on behalf of my clients, the plaintiffs. To be truthful, when I came into this mediaiton, I did not believe there was much of a chance of this case settling. The insurance company had taken a very hard line view of our case and was not considering the vast majority of medical bills, in spite of reports and letters we had from the doctors.
I'm impressed that you refused to allow the case to descend in widely disparate demands and offers from both sides. I noticed that you careful explained your position to both sides and then "created value" in the case before you actually committed to either side to take a position in dollars and cents. I thought the practice of using " a range" of negotiation values rather then a specific demand or offer was also very clever and helpful in settling this case.
I was very surprised with the amount of money that you were able to get the insurance company to offer at the end of the case. Your professionalism, courtesy and skill in handling this mediation were all very impressive to me. I will certainly recommend you as a mediator to my friends an colleagues for their cases and hope to be able to use your services again..."

"...You were a mediator in a case for me yesterday. That was the first time we had ever met. However, I was so enamored with your methodology and tenacity in settling what I considered an extremely tough plaintiff's case that I decided to write this letter.
I have been a civil trial lawyer doing plaintiff's personal injury work in San Diego County for over 31 years. I have been to countless mediations and I have never seen a style quire like yours. It was very different but most impressive. You were able to do whatever it took for as long as it took to get the two (2) sides together. And, we had two (2) sides in this particular case with some real animosity between us.
More to the point, your style simply gets the job done! I will make sure that my brothers and sisters in the plaintiff's bar in San Diego (Consumer Attorneys of San Diego) know about your outstanding mediation skills..."
