Jeffrey Wishko has extensive experience in resolving civil disputes concerning business transactions, commercial claims, employment relations and real estate issues (including environmental contamination). His practice has ranged from representing individuals and small businesses in local and state employment disputes to representing major oil companies in commercial litigation before the United States Supreme Court.

In all of these matters, Mr. Wishko strives to achieve a prompt, effective and economically efficient resolution to a dispute utilizing all available means of dispute resolution, including negotiation and mediation. Mr. Wishko’s experience and training as a litigator, mediator and arbitrator have enabled him to obtain favorable settlements for his clients in the vast majority of his cases.
