Testimonials
"You want somebody who everyone's going to respect and who you can work with and who's somewhat disarming - especially when you're dealing with a case like mine where there's nothing but eight lawyers in the room. That's a lot of strong personalities to deal with, and Judge Bacigalupo handled it really, really well. Everyone respected him, and everyone was happy with him at the end of the day."
"Judge Bacigalupo has clearly had lots of experience with different kinds of cases. So whether it's an employment case or a business litigation case or a commercial case or a banking case, he seems to be able to speak fluently in whatever the language of that case is."
"Judge Bacigalupo is very unflappable. The cases I've had with him are pretty diverse and distinct with different personalities - both in terms of opposing counsel and the parties involved. He's really good, really skillful at sussing out the pressure points that matter most - both on a personal level, involving the personalities of the people involved, as well as on the practical legal side. He's got a skill set that allows him to do both."
"Judge Bacigalupo exceeded my expectations. He knew the facts on a pretty granular level. He didn't seem rushed. He really took his time. He put both sides at ease and was very respectful. He had really good insights into our area and our issues, and I think that gained the trust of both sides. He was able to bring us first to kind of a common ground and then build upon that to achieve a resolution."
"Judge Bacigalupo was professional, fair, honest with both sides about risks and rewards, and helped us come up with creative solutions. He's also very kind and personable but able to politely and strongly refocus clients who may be distracted by irrelevant issues or side discussions."
"Judge Bacigalupo was great and figured out a way to settle the case – getting the parties to talk to each other. Before that they were nearly at an impasse. I would definitely use him again."
"I thought Judge Bacigalupo did an excellent job communicating with us (defendant) about the liability and damages issues of the case. I would use him as a mediator in the future, and I would recommend him as a mediator to other counsel."
“I just wanted to thank you Judge Bacigalupo once again for all your efforts in getting this case resolved. He is a great settlement judge!!”
“I want to thank Judge Bacigalupo for his tireless effort in what was a very challenging case with a long history and some interesting dynamics. He went totally above and beyond and I can’t thank him enough.”
“I want to thank Judge Bacigalupo from the bottom of my heart. He has gone above and beyond settling my cases.”
