OUR NEUTRALS

Judge Moon retired from the San Diego County Superior Court after serving 23 ½ years as a trial judge. He was the Presiding Judge of the San Diego Municipal Court before being elevated in 1983. Assigned to the North County Division of the San Diego Superior Court, he has presided in virtually every department and served as its Supervising Judge. For the 3½ years preceding retirement, Judge Moon handled a civil independent calendar, both managing civil cases from filing to final disposition and trying those which did not resolve or settle. Prior to taking the bench, Judge Moon was a partner in several law firms handling cases in a wide variety of civil areas including labor, business, domestic, real estate and construction law. As a judge, he was known for his innovative case management, recommending neutral intervention early in the dispute to prevent protracted litigation and trials. As an arbitrator, Mediator and Private Judge, he has had great success resolving many challenging cases including construction defect, medical malpractice, eminent domain and serious injuries. One client commented, “He’s a good mediator, he is laid back, but firm like a Judge, and he works hard to close the deal.” An out of town plaintiff lawyer noted, “I was impressed with his decision and ability to facilitate an efficient, smooth and fair arbitration.”
