Background

About Jon B. Comstock

My goal is to provide a genuinely neutral environment that helps the parties take full advantage of the process in which they are engaged – while staying focused on the desired outcome. Mediation is the most common choice.Almost eighteen years in a general private litigation practice, representing private individuals, companies and governmental entities as plaintiffs and defendants in commercial, employment, regulatory and personal injury cases, was followed by almost eighteen years in serving as in-house counsel to one of the largest companies in the world, much of which was in the role of litigation counsel in federal courts across the country. I followed this experience with a term of service as a general jurisdiction trial judge where I was often presented the opportunity to “decide” for the parties how their dispute should be settled. One side wins, one side loses. Having been the beneficiary of many successfully mediated cases in my previous career, I was confident these litigants had missed out on an opportunity that would have served them well. Now, I sit in the chair as mediator trained in conflict resolution. My goal is to help parties navigate through the discord that divides them to a place where they can say “okay, let’s resolve this our way”.​​
