SCOTT GILMORE:

EXPERIENCED TRIAL ATTORNEY & SUCCESSFUL MEDIATOR

SIX REASONS

Why You Should Consider Scott To Mediate Your Dispute:

FOCUSED

Scott’s focused listening skills combined with his friendly demeanor will put counsel and the parties at ease, which is essential to reaching settlement of a dispute.

FOCUSED

PERSISTENT

Scott brings a persistent approach to mediation and will work tirelessly to help the parties reach a resolution, without regard to the time constraints of the mediation format. Scott has sometimes worked with counsel and the parties past midnight to reach a settlement, and is often able to settle matters by follow up e-mails and phone calls if a resolution is not reached at the initial mediation session.

PERSISTENT

EXPERIENCE

Scott has more than forty years of litigation experience in the areas of the law in which he mediates, all of which he employs toward reaching resolutions of litigated matters.

EXPERIENCED

KNOWLEDGEABLE

Scott’s extensive knowledge of the status of the courts and the possible outcomes at trial is utilized by him during the course of a mediation to assist parties and counsel in reaching the conclusion that a negotiated resolution is usually preferable to the “roll of the dice” in proceeding to trial.

KNOWLEDGEABLE

TRUSTED

Scott will always protect the relation between counsel and their clients, as well as confidential nature of the potential weakness of each sides position, so that — in the rare situation where the matter is not settled at mediation — neither side is adversely impacted by having attempted mediation.

TRUSTED

SUCCESSFUL

Scott gets cases settled, and usually the parties leave having realized that a negotiated settlement was the preferable approach — rather than continuing with the risks, uncertainties and expense inherent in ongoing litigation.
