“Dave was an excellent instructor. He showed tremendous patience in answering all of my questions. His anecdotes were wonderful and the week went by very fast, because I never lost interest– That in turn was because the course moved along at a stimulating yet comfortable pace. Thank you!”

“As an expert consultant in the construction industry, I’ve attended hundreds of arbitrations where the arbitrators  acted like Judge and Jury without any understanding of the arbitration process. After attending Mr. Armstrong’s program, I now know that dispute resolution is about listening and finding the root of the issues. I found the program and Mr. Armstrong’s insights extremely valuable. I look forward to attending future seminars knowing the knowledge gained from Mr. Armstrong will help me become a successful and affective arbitrator.
