Donald Medeiros has based his legal philosophy on the precept that communication, mediation and education of the client can resolve the majority of legal concerns before commencing litigation. Mr. Medeiros is licensed as both a counselor at law and an attorney at law.
Concerns arise when two parties can no longer communicate with one another.
The counselor at law then proceeds to act as the mediator between the two parties, furthering the dialogue through the impasse. Should common ground not be reached, the legal system and what can be expected from the courts, besides time, high costs and fees, should be explained by the counselor at law. The attorney at law then enters in to the process to commence an aggressive court representation toward a sucessful conclusion. After obtaining his law degree, Mr. Medeiros took an early retirement from his vocation as a police officer in Orange County where he had honed his negotiating skills in public relations, first by heading the police union and then by working as a liaison between various county agencies. Medeiros also worked as a state lobbyist in securing retirement benefits for safety personnel.
