🎉Nothing beats satisfied attorneys posting recommendations about our Alternative Dispute Resolution work!

✌️This is the first of TWO posts about a Commercial Litigation matter in which Sheryl Axelrod served as the parties’ Receiver, and managed to resolve ALL of their disputes. 🤝

🤷‍♀️Why the first of TWO?

⭐Because BOTH SIDES posted recommendations about her work on her LinkedIn profile, and BOTH for her work as a Receiver AND as a Mediator in the case!

Here’s how Phillip Berger, Managing Partner Commercial Litigation at
Berger Law Group, P.C., described her work, in relevant part:

“I represented Plaintiff minority partners in protracted litigation against a Defendant real estate partnership entity. The litigation involved claims of distributions alleged to be due to the Plaintiffs. The words ‘protracted litigation’ are fitting, as the matter had been appealed to the United States Supreme Court, and twice to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Over the course of 6 years of litigation, 3 Commerce Program judges presided over the case, with 2 actually retiring during the litigation. Ms. Axelrod was subsequently appointed by the Court as the Receiver to review the potential dissolution of the partnership with the potential liquidation of the real estate.

Despite the complex nature of the case, the partnership issues and laws involved, and the involvement of the non-party property owners, Ms. Axelrod was an absolute professional. Ms. Axelrod was always respectful to all of the parties, and put together a team of professionals to help determine valuations and options for the resolution of this very litigious matter.

Through Ms. Axelrod's direct involvement and constant attention to the parties' concerns and issues, she helped broker the settlement of this case.
I highly recommend Ms. Axelrod both as a Receiver, and also as a Mediator.”

Thank you, Mr. Berger -- we appreciate your recommendation and professionalism in working with Ms. Axelrod to fully resolve this matter!
