"Reflecting on my journey from a prosecutor in San Diego to serving as a judge, I've learned
the profound importance of preparation, empathy and balanced
judgment in resolving complex disputes," said Judge Medel. "My
experience in handling challenging cases, like those in private
practice and my tenure as a civil litigation trial attorney have
equipped me with unique insights into both sides of the courtroom.
At Signature Resolution, I look forward to leveraging my 14 years
on the bench and extensive litigation background to facilitate fair
and timely resolutions, always with an empathetic ear and a
commitment to understanding each party's unique circumstances."
Judge Medel began his legal career as a deputy district attorney
in San Diego, successfully
completing 40 jury trials, numerous court trials and evidentiary
hearings. Known for his measured and reasonable approach, he
frequently engaged in settlement discussions involving judges.
Notably, he was selected for one of the country's first street gang
prosecution units, focusing on prosecuting violent crimes committed
by local street gangs. This experience shaped his belief that
extensive preparation, human understanding and a strategic plan are
essential for successful case resolution.

him a reputation as a true lawyer's judge. His unique ability to
connect with people and his innovative approach to mediation will
undoubtedly enhance our firm's ability to achieve meaningful and
fair resolutions for our clients. We believe his presence will
elevate our practice and bring unparalleled value to the mediation
process."
In 1987, Judge Medel joined Ault, Midlam & Deuprey,
specializing in medical malpractice defense and civil litigation.
He later co-founded Medel & Rawers and in 2001, established the
Medel Law Firm, earning a stellar reputation in medical malpractice
and Medical Board law. Appointed by former Governor Schwarzenegger

trials.
At Signature Resolution, Judge Medel will serve as a mediator
