OUR NEUTRALS

Since 1993 Judge Sheffield has been a full-time Neutral and has conducted over 5000 arbitrations and mediations. While distinguishing himself as a noted speaker on Alternative Dispute Resolution domestically and internationally, he serves as an Arbitrator, Mediator, Discovery Referee and Private Judge on cases involving Catastrophic Injury, Construction Defect, Toxic Mold, Business Contracts, Insurance Coverage, Entertainment and all types of Employment/Workplace disputes. Judge Sheffield enjoys the challenge of settling difficult and complex cases, especially those requiring energy, tenacity and creativity. In 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009, he was selected by the Daily Journal as one of California's Top Neutrals. As an Arbitrator, our clients, both plaintiffs and defendants, respect Judge Sheffield’s superior intelligence and insight, his independent approach to making difficult, tough calls and his unique insight into the credibility of witnesses. As a Mediator, he is widely commended by counsel for his innovative solutions in resolving disputes, his exceptional patience, his especially sensitive manner with clients and his ability to settle even the most difficult cases. “For cases I absolutely must settle, I trust Judge Sheffield over anyone,” one client remarked—many others concur.
