When the stakes are high, gambling on an outcome is risky (ask any party who gambled and lost)

And Here’s Why Negotiation Works:

•

• It’s often a win-win, not a zero-sum transaction

• It employs highly creative solutions rather than financial threats

While we deal with various M&A, partnership, stock option, boardroom, marriage, and other daily issues, our lead attorney, Stefano Riznyk, trains lawyers on high-level negotiation nationwide and has received several reviews stating it is the best or most useful CLE training the lawyer received in their career. His successful negotiation range includes handling:

• Blackmail of a political figure. Opposing had the proof. Never released to the media (would have been severely destructive and worth 7 figures to a journal).

NO money changed hands; both parties spoke afterwards.

• Kidnapping of a federal agent's son to Europe. Child returned safely; NO money changed hands. Conducted telephonically

• Career destruction of cardiologist caught up in hospital politics. Flew to

Client invited attorney to his wedding; when Stefano was unable to attend, client and his wife flew to Stefano to celebrate their first anniversary with him.

Change Peoples’ Lives and Transform Companies’ Destinies

One case at a time, working endless hours to craft that one innovative paragraph that shifts the paradigm and transforms the case, ending the battle. It always comes down to that one paragraph.

Stefano Riznyk is a highly-skilled negotiator who trains other lawyers nationwide and has received outstanding reviews in the courses. When mediation fails, but your client wants to avoid making the matter public, negotiation is the best resource. A sophisticated tool that resolves issues through a complex understanding of human nature, invisible agendas, and how the business works, it can be the most powerful tool in your repertoire.

Stefano has resolved extortion, career destruction, boardroom issues, and even an international kidnapping, with ‘no’ money changing hands. Representing political figures, entertainment celebrities, and even Fortune 500 presidents, he has been able to resolve what could not be accomplished with litigation. Relationships are often mended, and situations renormalized in ways that litigation and mediation cannot accomplish. He offers 34 years’ experience as a business litigator and employment lawyer, as well as an immigration attorney who deals with foreign investors.

FORENSIC/EXPERT TESTIMONIES

PSFEG’s Structural and Forensic engineers have been retained as structural engineer experts in over 200 litigation matters by law firms, insurance carriers, and the US Government. They have testified at trials, arbitrations, mediations, and depositions numerous times.

As part of their work, they identify and detect the sources of Building Code violations, construction/design defects, and causation of failures in structures.

Working closely with law firms, insurance careers, private firms, and public agencies, PSFEG will provide site investigation, data acquisition, documentation, and quantification of site-specific conditions, refutation, and presentation of forensic evidence on a wide spectrum of structures, including industrial, residential, commercial, and public building structures.

By assessing technical evidence, accurately interpreting the collected data and facts on each case, and utilizing the laws of science, engineering, and physics, we are able to develop and critique the structural repair methodologies. Our registered engineers and experts are able to successfully address the task at hand with outstanding Forensic investigation and Expert Witness Testimony capabilities.

William Dillin MD

The concepts of evidence-based medicine have been the cornerstone of Dr. Dillin’ s education during his spine surgery fellowship in Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic Surgery and the format for decision making in his subsequent practice.

The critical analytic features inherent in the ‘best evidence ’approach to patients have permeated his writing and his lectures, allowing flexible adaptation as the science has changed. Since July 1985, Dr. Dillin has been exclusively devoted to clinical spine, interventional spine and spine surgery practice. The combination of clinical critical thinking in conjunction with evidence-based medicine practice, allows spine specialty focus on any Independent Medical Evaluations or Medical-Legal Reviews.

He is in clinical practice performing spine surgery, spine interventions and evaluating patients with spine conditions. He is licensed in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and Nevada . Dr. Dillin was a partner at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, California for 35 years and was an associate of the CedarsSinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute.
