Mediator Spotlight: Anthony Khoury
Anthony Khoury is a highly respected attorney mediator, bringing decades of legal experience and fresh energy to the MCLA panel. A former Court Commissioner in Kern County, Anthony launched civil and family law settlement programs and presided over complex cases before turning his focus fully to ADR.
Anthony Khoury’s path to mediation is grounded in decades of experience in the courtroom and a deep commitment to helping parties resolve disputes with clarity and fairness. In this month’s edition, Anthony shares practical advice for attorneys preparing for mediation, his approach to building trust with clients, and the most valuable lessons he’s learned in his mediation journey. We are pleased to have spoken to Anthony to learn more about his career and path to conflict resolution.

“As serious as I am about my work, colleagues have always known me to have a
smile on my face or to be laughing.
That’s the mindset I bring to the mediation process.“
