Our Experts

Steven A. Hemmat
Principal Attorney
Over the course of his career, Steven has gained an appreciation for how alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can bring about better results for parties in a variety of conflicts. As a provider, Steven can arrange for mediations or arbitrations in person, remotely, or by travel to the parties themselves.
Steven prefers to conduct mediation via shuttle diplomacy, where the parties are placed in separate rooms and never see or speak to each other directly. The Mediator then travels between the parties and attempts to settle the dispute through alternating discussions.
When conducting Arbitration’s, Steven is happy to consider disputes with or without oral argument.
