Phyllis Pollack, President of PGP Mediation in Los Angeles, California, has mediated more than 2,000 disputes for individuals and businesses in the past 19+ years.

PGP Mediation offers a variety of civil mediation services, including:

Phyllis is an expert mediator and attorney. She has published articles in countless publications, such as California Lawyer.

Although Phyllis was a practicing attorney for 35 years, she does not provide legal advice in her role as a mediator and she will not hand down a decision. When you attend a mediation session at PGP Mediation, you can expect Phyllis to be involved and engaged, asking questions and reframing what she hears as the most important aspects of the issue. She is equally tough on both parties, encouraging them to be realistic in their assessment of the situation and to think creatively about what unique solutions could be agreeable to everyone involved.

One benefit of using mediation is that you retain complete control of any agreement you reach. You know your situation and the feasibility of different solutions better than any third party could, so the best solutions will come from you. In fact, mediation has a success rate of 85 to 95 percent, and in post-mediation surveys, parties indicate very high levels of satisfaction with both the process and the results.
