Introduction
Since 2007, Gary has been a full-time neutral and has successfully mediated over 4,000 civil matters.
During his more than 25 years as a trial lawyer, Mr. Donovan represented both defendants and plaintiffs in all types of civil matters. Since the early 1990s, he has served as a mediator, arbitrator, and Temporary Judge for both the Orange County Superior Court and Riverside County Superior Court. It was during that time he discovered his passion for meditating. Subsequently, to make a full-time ADR commitment, Mr. Donovan underwent intensive training from the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University.
As a mediator, he is a very effective communicator and is resourceful and persistent in striving to resolve each case. Those qualities are the reasons why both plaintiff and defense attorneys often select him. One attorney commented, "Gary did a great job bringing many parties together on a mutually beneficial settlement. I look forward to working with him again in the future."
