    “Judy Larkins has built a very deserving reputation for ADR excellence. She is skilled as a mediator/arbitrator and also as program manager. She has both vision and drive to increase the use of ADR and to arrive at creative solutions that satisfy parties.”  Deborah Schick Laufer, Director, Federal ADR Network (FAN)

    "I have known Judy Larkins for the past 10 years, and during that time participated in many mediations at Colorado Mediators & Arbitrators and referred many friends and attorneys to Judy. From the business side of the process, Judy is a pleasure to work with. The fees are fair and there are no surprises. She also organizes the mediation process to be cost efficient. From the procedural process, Judy does an excellent job of helping the parties work through their disputes and reach agreements."  Von Limbaugh, Attorney

    "I am an independent arbitrator/mediator on the panel at Colorado Mediators and Arbitrators. Judy asked me to join the panel and I have enjoyed working with her -- both on specific cases and in relation to her efforts to continually improve CoMA's rules and services. She is easy to work with and is very competent and professional. CoMA is her business and she works hard to make it successful by recruiting good arbitrators and mediators to serve on her panels and by providing excellent service to her clients."  John Sass, Attorney/Arbitrator/Mediator
