Judith E. Rubenstein
Attorney Mediator

“Judith's creativity, ability and persistence can usually find a bridge where any resolution of a dispute seems hopeless.”

"Judith’s professional approach, perseverance and understanding of the facts and legal issues of a very complex case, made settlement possible.”

" In spite of fractious parties and recalcitrant adjusters, Judith was able to keep the process moving forward. At the end of the day, my client felt that he had been listened to, understood, and dealt with in a fair manner.

“Judith’s quick grasp of complex issues was remarkable…”

Judith Rubenstein began her mediation practice in 1985 when lawyer-mediators in the United States were rare. She has practiced in Southern California since 1990.
