Casserly to its exclusive roster of neutrals. He is based in the San Diego office and is available for mediations, arbitrations and private judging assignments statewide.

“We are excited to welcome Judge Casserly to our exclusive roster of neutrals. He is a great addition to our team, and his settlement skills will be very much welcomed by our clients. His years of conducting settlement conferences on civil matters have helped him gain the reputation as a very hard worker and a true closer, and we are thrilled to be able to offer his services to our clients,” said Mark Kaufman, Executive Vice President of Market Development with Judicate West.
