Messner Reeves Partners Featured in Attorney At Law Magazine

Messner Reeves LLP is pleased to announce that Partners Jeff Finley and Bruce Montoya were recently featured in Attorney At Law Magazine’s article, “Messner Reeves’ Top Mediators: Guiding Parties from Conflict to Resolution.”

The article focuses on the art of mediation, noting that Bruce and Jeff stand out among their peers “for their ability to guide parties from conflict to resolution as ADR practitioners.” Both attorneys are praised for their insights and approach to mediation, and for their notably different paths to becoming alternative dispute resolution practitioners.

“When you can help people put aside strong differences and do what’s best for everyone involved, that’s far more rewarding than ongoing litigation,” says Jeff in the article.

Mediation is “a chance to give both sides their day, to ensure they’re heard, and to guide them toward a resolution they can live with,” explains Bruce in the article.
