I am a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer. I represent only injured individuals for serious accidents. Because trial is very expensive, frequently risky, and contains so many unknowns, mediation is a good way for both parties in a dispute to get into a room together and talk candidly about the strengths and weaknesses of their respective cases. The mediators they are hire are top notch. What does that mean? That means that the mediators here have expertise in litigation, are personable and make the litigants feel comfortable with the process. I am a fan of this facility because usually the odds are stacked against the injured individual in court because of many laws lobbied and paid for by the insurance industry. For example, did you know that a jury is not allowed to be told that the at-fault party has insurance coverage which cover the damages verdict? The reason for that rule is that insurance companies want the jury to think that the at-fault person will have to pay the damages out of their own pocket, so the jury will award less.
I spent 45 minutes in line only to be told i was in wrong area.
Very classy nice warm place to visit. Helpful employees . Very respectful and friendly. The wait wasnt bad either.
If you ever feel like watching people get deposed, I highly recommend this venue.
Well maintained, friendly staff, clean facilities.
If you are forced into Arbitration Know this: You often are suing a large Corp. This is a fraternity, the judges, both sides (Attys), JudicateWest all rely on these suits for large incomes. If they rule against a large Corp. the money flow STOPS to the above 3 since both Attys must agree on the judge. It is a rigged system and they make the rules and the state knows this.
Unless you need a great burger or malt...theres nothing more here besides social-security. The cafe gets 5 *****! Great food.. Really.
Professional service..nice atmosphere and impressed they provided catered lunch
Doesnt even deserve one star. This place is a joke the judges are so bad and bias. They are not fair, they are totally unpofessionalThey do not follow the law they follow the $$$$$. Run from this place especially if u have an inkling of a relationship with the opposing council, it is not ur imagination... Do ur homework, do ur research, u will be better off for it....Over priced, pompous and incompetent...
Do not deal whit this people its scam period
Good mediators, very good service.
Decent place extremely expensive mediators charging $1000 an hour, most of which are not worth it. Snacks included.
I doubt the fairness. I think they tend to side with large organizations which have the potential of giving them future business. Being a commercial place they appear not to pay much credence to the individuals case.
