Creative Approaches; Effective Solutions

Mediation office of Hon. Jeffrey K. Winikow, a former judge on the Los Angeles Superior Court, and recognized expert in the field of labor and employment law.  Judge Winikow prefers conversation to combat and will tirelessly work with counsel and the parties to resolve their employment disputes. 

Mediation is not magic.  Settlements do not just happen.  A skilled mediator must rely on different tools to help parties broker deals over a wide variety of situations.  Having subject matter experience may help.  Having judicial experience may help.  Having the tenacity and creative energy to explore and exhaust all possibilities of settlement WILL help.
