Experience
There are few, if any, mediators in St. Louis with as much or more experience than Ron Wiesenthal. Wiesenthal has regularly served as both a court appointed and private mediator since 1992. While he was a practicing attorney, he represented plaintiffs and defendants in a myriad of civil litigation and transactions and he understands the needs and goals of parties and attorneys on both sides of the docket. Ron Wiesenthal will discuss a lawsuit’s strengths and weaknesses with each party and attorney in a forthright manner. More importantly perhaps, he will listen to what each party and attorney has to say about the case. Wiesenthal understands that settlements cannot be imposed upon parties but that parties must reach agreements on their own terms. Wiesenthal knows how to get a case settled.
Neutrality and A Commitment to Settlement
