Ken Malovos has been a trial lawyer and litigator in Sacramento for over 35 years and is now a full-time arbitrator and mediator. During his career as a practicing attorney, he appeared regularly in state and federal courts, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. In addition, he has participated in countless arbitrations and mediations as an advocate.
Throughout that entire time, he has maintained a steady interest in the art of settlement. As a practical matter, the vast majority of cases do settle, it is only a question of when and on what terms. It is his strong belief that the best and earliest settlements come about through the use of a competent and interested mediator who has real litigation experience as an advocate.
Since 1988 he has served as a pro tem settlement judge and judicial arbitrator for the Sacramento County Superior Court. He has been selected as a member of the California Academy of Distinguished Neutrals. He serves as a neutral for the American Arbitration Association on their Construction, Commercial and Large Complex Case arbitration panels and on their mediation panel. In addition, he serves as an arbitrator for the Public Works Contract Program for the Office of Administrative Hearings, State of California.
In 2006, 2007 and 2008, he was selected as a Super Lawyer in Northern California for Alternative Dispute Resolution. For the past 15 years, he has served as a neutral in over 500 cases. He is well versed in a wide variety of business disputes.

I promise each litigant and each counsel my best effort at a fair and equitable settlement. I will listen. I have been an attorney in thousands of cases and I know how important it is to consider every fact and every point of law. I doubt that you will find anyone who will work harder. If asked to decide a question, either as an arbitrator, trial judge or referee, I will produce an impartial and legally-supportable answer to the dispute. I have tremendous respect for our legal system and believe that I can assist in resolving almost any type of case.
