Michael A. Strauss, Esq.

Employment Mediator and Arbitrator for Class, PAGA, and Individual Actions

As a long-time litigator, counselor, and mediator, Michael (Mike) Strauss has seen every type of employment dispute imaginable, from the common -- such as wrongful termination, disability discrimination, misclassification, unpaid minimum wages, and missed meal periods -- to the more obscure -- like regular rate of pay, trade secrets, and time card rounding. Yet while the claims he sees are always in the same legal universe of employment law, the one universal truth about mediation is that every case is different. No two parties to a mediation have the same personalities, needs, desires, risk tolerance, or temperaments. Because of the varied nature of each mediation, Mike makes a point of adapting the particular interests at play. Always guided by his mediation philosophy of the three Ps, preparation, patience, and persistence, Mike meets relishes the opportunity to connect with the parties and lawyers and come up with creative solutions to bring each case to a resolution. Mike, who mediates exclusively through Judicate West, conducts his mediations by Zoom or in person, throughout the country. Mike is also an employment arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association.
