Testimonials

"He’s done family law for a gazillion years, so he knows it, and he really has the temperament for settlement. When you’re trying to reach a settlement, you have to compromise, and often, the parties don’t want to. … Judge Pulido knows how to bring people to the middle, and that’s why we were able to settle. His patience and knowledge and experience are what made it happen."

"He’s a really good fit for someone who wants a judge who’s tried cases and has experience as a practitioner, someone who wants a judge with an even-keeled personality, a calming personality, who’s personable. You’re definitely not going to feel rushed with him."

"He has a lot of experience that he brings to bear, so he doesn’t get caught up in everyone else’s emotions. And he tends to be able to anchor, which is good in family law cases because things can spin out. People’s personalities and their conflicts can really impact the negotiation."

"But I think his greatest strength, honestly, is he’s practical and has common sense. I think in a lot of family law cases that is something very important in order to get the case over the finish line. It has to be a practical resolution that everyone can buy into – even if they don’t love it."

"He’s very kind, and I think for family law cases that’s really important because people are feeling so vulnerable and are so stressed. So, to have a neutral that is just genuinely kind in how he’s talking to everybody goes a long way because it brings down the temperature for people."

"Judge Pulido is a very judicious mediator. He handled the parties with respect and care. He was diplomatic and when necessary firm. I will highly recommend him to my colleagues."

"Judge Pulido was excellent as a mediator. He put both of us at ease and managed to be both approachable and sufficiently authoritative.
