LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) July 24, 2023 -- Signature Resolution, a leader in alternative dispute resolution, announced today the Honorable Halim Dhanidina (Ret.) is joining the firm. With more than 25 years of legal expertise, Justice Dhanidina's diverse background as a lawyer, Superior Court judge and Court of Appeal justice will offer impartiality and perceptiveness as a neutral party.
“As a justice, I’m dedicated to providing proper guardrails for the court through various decisions and rulings to exercise appropriate discretion for all parties,” said Justice Dhanidina. “I believe a successful neutral must possess the ability to be sensitive to the needs and goals of everyone involved and look forward to bringing this philosophy into my new role at Signature Resolution.”

Before joining Signature Resolution, Justice Dhanidina served as an associate justice for the Second District Court of Appeal and became the first South Asian justice in California and the first Muslim Court of Appeal justice in the U.S. In his role, he gained great respect from his colleagues on the trial court, having reviewed nearly 1,000 appeals spanning various disciplines, including family, employment, business litigation, and probate. Additionally, Justice Dhanidina had the opportunity to bring a contemporary perspective to cases where the authority in place was based on antiquated judgments.
Before his Court of Appeal appointment, Justice Dhanidina served as a judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court and presided over multiple notable cases that significantly impacted both his career and those affected by the verdict.
