As you are aware, on 1/17/03 the claim mentioned above was mediated by a state
mediator, opposing council, Luis Estrada, workers' compensation attorney for the
County and me. Opening demand from opposing council was for $60,000.00 inclusive
of costs and fees. We mediated for an hour and a half and an agreement was finally
reached in the amount of $35,000.00 inclusive.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please
