Eugene C. Moscovitch, Esq.
Now in his eighth year of full time dispute resolution work,
including having now settled over 1,000 matters, Eugene C. Moscovitch,
Esq. brings a wealth of practical knowledge and experience to ADR
Services, making him one of the most sought after and most popular
mediators in Southern California.
While Gene specializes in the mediation of Employment matters (including
Wage & Hour and all forms of job-related harassment and discrimination),
he also regularly resolves a large number of complex Commercial and
Contractual disputes, along with many cases involving allegations of
Professional Malpractice, Civil Rights violations and catastrophic
Personal Injury.
Mr. Moscovitch is able to draw freely upon his highly acclaimed
background as a trial attorney (80-90 jury trials) and his 34 year
career as a negotiator to find ways to settle 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 consistently have allowed Gene Moscovitch to
achieve an extraordinary rate of settlement (approx 94%) 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 mediators.
