The SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DIRECTORY OF EXPERTS & CONSULTANTS has five CATEGORY INDEXES for locating legal experts, consultants, and services:
• Litigation/Legal Services Listings:
These trial support services may include Document Services, Personnel, Paralegals, Process Servers, Parliamentary Procedure, Computer, and other legal support professionals.
• Expert Witness Referral Services Listings: Find organizations with banks of experts and consultants in broad categories of expertise.
• Lawyer-to-Lawyer (L2L) Consultants Network Listings:
Lawyers who hold themselves competent and available for consultation can be located in their respective practice areas of law. This section is intended to offer practitioners a source for finding professional advice and outsourcing in unfamiliar areas of law.
• Dispute Resolution Professionals Listings:
Find Arbitrators, Mediators, Private Judges, Family Law specialists, Special Masters, Settlement Officers, and other auxiliary dispute resolution service providers in a specific area of dispute.
• Expert Witnesses & Consultants Listings:
More than 1,500 listings in nearly 500 categories of expertise appear in this section. Depending upon your needs, you will want to give the CATEGORY INDEXES a thorough review for all applicable categories and subcategories to find your expert.
For example, if you are looking for an electrical expert, you might look under any or all of these selections:
Accident Prevention/Safety: Electrical
Accident Reconstruction: Electrical
Electrical
Construction: Electrical
Engineering: Electrical
Similarly, experts in real estate may be found in the Real Estate category as well as in real estate subcategories under the category of Appraisal and Valuation.
A COMBINED INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL INDEX appears at the back of the directory. This includes ALL PARTICIPANTS in the book, in alphabetical order. DISPLAY ADVERTISING is interspersed throughout the directory.
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.

Negotiation When Arbitration/Mediation Fails:
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.

Consulting/Expert Witness Experience: EXPERIENCED FORENSIC WITNESS AND CONSULTANT. COMPARABLE EXPERIENCE IN PLAINTIFF AND DEFENSE CASES
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.
