Alan Banov may also be able to help litigants and attorneys with non-adversarial services: mediation, arbitration, and testifying as an expert witness.

Mediation and arbitration

Mr. Banov has been a mediator with the Montgomery County Human Relations Commission (MCHRC) since 1994 and a mediator with the Superior Court of the District of Columbia since 1998. In these capacities, he has mediated dozens of cases –employment and public accommodation discrimination cases before MCHRC and mostly personal injury cases in Superior Court. In many cases, he has successfully helped the parties reach settlements. Mr. Banov is available to help litigants settle their disputes through alternative dispute resolution.

Expert testimony

A number of times other employment lawyers have contracted with Alan Banov to serve as an expert witness, generally in cases where a prior employment lawyer’s conduct is at issue. In one such case, Lockhart v. Cade, 728 A.2d 65 (D.C. 1999), the D.C. Court of Appeals quoted Mr. Banov in its opinion. He may also be of value in either helping to evaluate your case or testifying about whether there was discrimination.
