With over two decades of experience as a Judge, Hon. Suzanne Ramos Bolanos (Ret.) brings unparalleled expertise and insight to dispute resolution across a wide range of areas, including complex commercial disputes, employment, and medical malpractice.
Whether from the bench as a judge, at the negotiation table as a settlement facilitator, or now as a full-time mediator and arbitrator, Judge Bolanos has a reputation for being patient, fair, and persistent. She believes in guiding parties toward resolution, not just through legal analysis, but also by helping them visualize what a trial will actually be like: testifying before jurors, navigating evidentiary rules, and facing the unpredictability of a verdict. Her approach is practical, empathetic, and rooted in years of experience helping litigants find closure outside of the courtroom. As she often says, reaching a fair settlement can sometimes be more satisfying than a hard-fought trial victory, and she takes pride in facilitating resolutions that allow parties to move forward.
