Why Nick Moraitakis Chose Mediation After Retirement

Podbean Description
Retirement didn’t mean stepping away from the law completely for Nick Moraitakis.

After decades as both a defense lawyer and plaintiff’s attorney, Nick found that mediation gave him a way to stay mentally engaged while using his experience for a different purpose.

In this clip, he also explains why understanding and respecting both sides matters. Having worked in defense himself, Nick knows the pressure those attorneys face and brings that perspective into the mediation room.

The full interview goes much deeper into Nick’s nearly 50-year legal career, his work on major Georgia cases, how mediation has changed, and what he’s learned from representing people on both sides of civil disputes.

You can’t rush mediation.

Nick Moraitakis compares the process to cooking soup or stew. Sometimes, both sides need time to work through their positions, get tired of holding the line, and finally move toward an agreement.

So what is a case worth?

Nick puts it simply: it’s worth the most the defense will pay and the least the plaintiff will accept. Hopefully, those numbers meet.

The Kathryn Johnston case required more than outrage over what happened. It required careful legal work, coordinated effort and a willingness to uncover the facts.

In this clip, Nick Moraitakis explains how the attorneys representing Ms. Johnston’s family worked together, divided up the issues and handled the many depositions needed to build the case.

Robin Frazer Clark also notes the larger impact of that work. The case not only resulted in a settlement for the family, it helped bring attention to serious problems within the Atlanta Police Department’s Red Dog Unit and contributed to broader reform.

This clip highlights the role civil litigation can play in uncovering truth, holding institutions accountable and helping prevent injustice from being ignored.

No one should be above the law, and no one should be denied its protection.

In this clip, Nick Moraitakis reflects on a message from Georgia Supreme Court Justice Carla Wong McMillian and explains why equality is central to his definition of justice.

This clip offers a practical look at the judgment, timing and persistence behind successful mediation.
