With a multi-faceted career spanning work as a casualty and coverage attorney, insurance claims person, underwriter, and executive, Rachel brings a well-rounded perspective to all of her mediations. She has worn many hats in the dispute resolution process including serving as a decision-maker, mediator, counsel of record, party representative, plaintiff, and insurance executive with final settlement authority. This breadth gives her a deep understanding of the factors that motivate the parties involved to settle their cases. In the mediator role, Rachel is adept at building rapport with both sides through candid communication. Her expertise in property, liability, automobile coverage, regulatory compliance, and good faith claim handling has been particularly beneficial in working through insurance-related matters.
An attorney stated, “Thanks to Ms. Ehrlich's Herculean and masterful travails to get this thing settled. She crafted the perfect approach to eradicate all impediments to settlement, something I truly did not believe could happen. Obviously, I’ll put her on top of my Best Mediators List.”

"Rachel was an experienced, thoughtful, and helpful mediator. "
- Attorney on an Insurance Bad Faith case
"It looked like the mediation would not produce a settlement, after a day of meetings, but Rachel was able to pull the parties together by texts, emails, and phone calls after the main session. Sorry to say no one wants to find themselves in mediation, as opposed to carrying on day to day business activities, but when mediation is needed, Judicate and Rachel are second to none as effective providers. Thanks again to Judicate and Rachel for coming through with 100% effective mediation services."
- Attorney on a Construction Breach of Contract Dispute
"Rachel was our mediator for a serious injury construction case involving multiple parties with cross claims for indemnity. Following a challenging day long session, the mediation ended in an impasse. Rachel stayed at it for several weeks following the mediation with several individual and group phone calls. Due to her persistence and ability to sort through the various liability and AI coverage issues, the case settled. I am certain that our case would not have settled without Rachel's tremendous effort."
