Hello, I'm Mediator L Randy Drew
Since earning my MBA in Dispute Resolution in 2009, from Pepperdine, I have mediated a diversity of issues, including business (B-to-B, B-to-C, family), contracts, real estate, property, landlord/tenant, neighborhood, community groups, and law enforcement.
My specialty is relational & family disputes, including contested adoptions, co-parenting, visitation, and sibling & family estates.
In 2014, I helped found the Dependency Mediation Program at the Los Angeles County Children’s Courthouse. Veteran of 700 mediations, I recruit, train, and lead an elite team of mediators from across the country. We believe, it is time to fund peace, because peace is a prerequisite for all philanthropic efforts, and peace should begin at home. SoCalFM.org
Each year, I mediate a few interesting disputes privately.
Disagreements & conflicts should be less harmful and more fruitful.
- Conflicts may be frozen, ripened, contoured, mitigated, or managed.
- Disagreements turn into agreements.
- Adversaries become allies.
- Disputes dissolve.
Before we begin...
My belief in the potential for human consciousness to evolve inspires my commitment. Until we learn to fight properly, increasingly intense and complex conflicts will be existential threats.
Mediation is the only form of Assisted Dispute Resolution where people decide for themselves. Litigation is win-lose, adversarial, power-based combat. Arbitration is simply private litigation.
A great mediator is a surrogate negotiator of acumen, a specialist, a guide, and a teacher.
Conflict systems present as their own self-contained workshops.
Multipartial is different than neutral in that I actively negotiate with and for all sides. Bias management and fairness remain the true standards of excellence and acceptability. The more a multipartial mediator speaks with the other side the better it is for you, because a great mediator is always negotiating. Hire me to build rapport with the other side. Get it?
Mediation Headquarters is located 20-miles North of downtown Los Angeles, and offers private indoor & outdoor facilities with ample parking for large & multiparty mediations and helicopter access. Remote video conference mediation is available.
