Biographical Notes:
Daniel Ben-Zvi (pronounced BenzVee) is well respected as a mediator. He is 1 of 32 "Power Mediators" worldwide on the Hollywood Reporter 2007 List. He has resolved more than 1,500 disputes. Mr. Ben-Zvi, admitted to five Bars, draws on 20 years as a multi-state trial lawyer to resolve complex, high-stakes cases. This "warrior-turned-peacemaker," as the Daily Journal described him, brings a unique blend of determination and creativity to ending bitterly fought lawsuits.
Mr. Ben-Zvi is co-author of a book "Inside the Minds – Alternative Dispute Resolution" [Aspatore Press, Boston 2004]. He writes articles and frequently lectures on dispute resolution to organizations of mediators, attorneys, law schools and others. Mr. Ben-Zvi, who writes creatively -- not just mediates creatively -- was a writer on the television show "L.A. Law."
Mr. Ben-Zvi appreciates the unique perspectives of plaintiff and defense. Throughout his litigation career, Mr. Ben-Zvi represented both plaintiffs and defendants. In 1981, Mr. Ben-Zvi began practicing law in Connecticut at Ribicoff & Kotkin. He was with the Washington DC law firm of Schmeltzer, Aptaker & Shepard for 10 years.
At the 2005 annual conference of the Southern California Mediation Association [SCMA], Mr. Ben-Zvi led the panel "Role of Attorneys in Mediation" with the Presidents of two of California's largest opposing trial lawyers associations -- the plaintiffs' trial attorneys [CAALA] and the association of defense counsel [ASCDC]. At the SCMA’s 2004 annual conference, he led the popular “Entertainment Mediation” panel.
