One attorney said this about Monty as a mediator: "Mr. McIntyre ranks among the best of the scores of mediators I've used over the years. He is a 'quick read' and was well prepared. A good mediator is an attentive and perceptive listener. With the knowledge he gleaned and his understanding of the issues, Mr. McIntyre worked closely with the parties to craft a creative solution to what would otherwise have been expensive and protracted litigation."
