Cases Mediated and Arbitrated

From 1986 through 2003, while maintaining a very busy Personal Injury practice representing Plaintiffs, Mr. Stewart was chosen to Mediate and/or Arbitrate hundreds of cases.  Over the last few years, Mr. Stewart has placed a greater emphasis on his Mediation business, dedicating the majority of his time to being a Mediator and Arbitrator in very extensive and serious multi-party cases, while limiting his successful Personal Injury practice.

As a full-time, professional Mediator, it is always Mr. Stewart’s goal to settle every case at Mediation.  After a Mediation is concluded, if an impasse is reached, Mr. Stewart always makes himself available to assist the parties in subsequent negotiations too help bring the case to a conclusion.  As a result, the parties often request that Mr. Stewart be brought back into the case to continue negotiations by telephone.  Mr. Stewart has been extremely successful in his follow-up negotiations and resolution of these cases, post-Mediation.

As Mr. Stewart has Mediated and Arbitrated approximately 2,200 cases, it is impossible to list each one.   The following are examples of the types of cases Mediated and Arbitrated by Mr. Stewart over the past two years.
