"Dover hails from the ...heart of the gold country - and many lawyers said he is, like his adopted hometown, the gold standard among mediators and their first choice to resolve disputes." - SF Daily Journal 12/12/14

"I have practiced in the area of trusts and estates and elder financial abuse litigation for the past 25 years. I have mediated a great number of cases over the years, and by far Judge Dover stands alone, head and shoulders above the rest." - Ed Corey, Esq., Shareholder, Weintraub Tobin, Sacramento

"He is a very judicious, wise man. At the same time, he is able to go brass tacks and calculate numbers and know the issues quickly." - John Sinclair, Esq., Sinclair Wilson Baldo & Chamberlain of Roseville

" His approach is, I think, to connect on a personal level...You need a good blend of business sense and old fashioned counselor, and he excels at both." - Maralee Nelder, Esq., Certified Family Law Specialist, Nevada County

"Judge Dover is smart, hard-working and personable. In my experience, as a mediator he will not give up until he either has a settlement or he is positive that all options have been fully explored." - Douglas Straus, Esq., Partner, Archer Norris in Walnut Creek
