Mr. Banov is an experienced mediator and litigator who can see both sides of a conflict and has proven to be helpful in assisting parties to settle their civil court and administrative cases without litigation ("out of court").
He has been mediating for the Montgomery County Office of Human Rights (MCOHR) since 1994, and he has served as a mediator for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia since 1998. All of the cases at MCOHR have been discrimination cases - with allegations of employment, public accommodations, or realty discrimination. Some have produced payments to the complainants; others have been resolved by non-monetary relief.
"A very impressive performance. Stayed with these parties persistently, patiently, sometimes doggedly, but with unswerving neutrality and a keep-the-momentum-going pace. Very brass tacks. Helped each side see and appreciate what the other side's shoes felt like."

"Excellent. Kept a flexible and open-ended group of options in play, without narrowing possibilities unnecessarily. Superb reality-testing with both sides, even when challenged."
