Pat Jones‘ selection as the mediator in my accountant malpractice case was the single most significant factor in reaching a settlement. Pat’s background in tax, accounting, finance and business allowed him to quickly comprehend and evaluate not only the complicated liability issues, but also what damages might realistically be recoverable. Pat’s calm and caring demeanor, coupled with his business acumen, allowed him to immediately establish credibility with all parties and their attorneys. I would strongly recommend Pat for future mediations. – Michael J. Gorby, Gorby, Peters & Associates, P.C.

The Benefits of Specialization in Mediation

There are several key benefits to working with mediators who specialize in your specific area of dispute.

1. In-Depth Knowledge: Specialized mediators are not only neutral third parties, but they also possess a deep understanding of the industry, regulations, and specific issues related to your case. This knowledge, which stems from experience, backed by the school of law, allows them to grasp the intricacies of the dispute quickly and offer creative solutions tailored to your unique circumstances.

2. Strong Credibility: Mediators with specialized experience in a given area command respect and credibility from all parties. This credibility helps establish a cooperative environment, promotes open communication, and increases the likelihood of reaching a mutually agreeable resolution.

3. Enhanced Communication: A specialized mediator will be familiar with the technical terminology and jargon used in your industry, facilitating more effective communication and decision-making between the disputing parties. This clear and concise communication fosters a better understanding of each party’s interests and concerns, leading to stronger advocacy and more productive negotiations.

4. Targeted Solutions: Specialization in mediation and arbitration ensures that the neutral understands the industry-specific standards, laws, and practices at play, enabling them to guide discussions toward realistic and legally sound outcomes.

5. Unique Insights: Specialized mediators bring a wealth of experience from their work in similar dispute resolution cases. This experience allows them to identify patterns, anticipate obstacles, and offer insights that are specific to your industry. Their deep understanding of a particular field allows them to suggest innovative approaches and solutions that parties involved may not have initially considered. This outside-the-box thinking can lead to more satisfying and sustainable agreements.

Gino Brogdon was OUTSTANDING! He immediately made my clients feel comfortable that they were in the right place with the right Mediator. He quickly grasped and analyzed the crucial issues and was “nonstop and relentless” in his pursuit and desire to resolve the matter in as equitable fashion as practical and possible. His knowledge of the subject matter was unparalleled and I could not have been more pleased. I would not hesitate to request him as a Mediator in all of my matters where alternative dispute resolution may be beneficial. – Steve Friedberg, Attorney At Law, LLC
