Eugene C. Moscovitch, Esq.
After ten years of full time dispute resolution work, and having now
successfully settled well over 1,000 matters, Eugene C. Moscovitch, Esq.
has brought a wealth of practical knowledge, insight and experience to
ADR Services, Inc., making him one of the most sought after mediators in
Southern California. He has been recognized by the Daily Journal as one
of the “Top 50 Neutrals in California” and is a member of the Board of
Governors of the International Academy of Mediators.
Mr. Moscovitch specializes in the resolution of employment matters, wage
& hour issues (including class actions), complex business and
contractual disputes, civil rights lawsuits, intellectual property and
legal malpractice issues, as well as major personal injury cases. He is
a frequent lecturer before State and local Bar associations, as well as
at plaintiffs’ attorney and defense counsel functions, on the subject of
mediating and settling the most contentious of litigated cases.
Mr. Moscovitch is able to draw freely upon his highly acclaimed
background as a trial attorney (70-80 jury trials) and his thirty-seven
year career as a negotiator to find ways to settle the cases that others
often label as impossible. His relentless and energetic pursuit of the
settlement objective distinguishes him from others who merely “try to
get it done”. What do you get when you combine a keen intellect and
strong work ethic with a warm and friendly demeanor? A winning set of
mediation skills which have consistently allowed Gene Moscovitch to
achieve an extraordinary rate of settlement (approximately 93%) and an
unparalleled degree of client satisfaction.
Plaintiff and defense attorneys alike agree that Gene’s consistently
pragmatic approach, his practical insights into likely juror perceptions
and probable Court rulings, and his ability to strongly empathize and
identify with both parties, have all combined to make him one of
California’s most effective and busiest mediators. He currently mediates
approximately 150 full day cases per year.
