John Gilligan Participates in Daily Settlement Officer Program

GFT’s own Certified Family Law Specialist, John J. Giligan, is a member of the family law executive committee (FLEXCOM) for the LA County Bar Association which is forming a new Daily Settlement Officer (DSO) program in Compton beginning March 12, 2015. John has also volunteered to be one of the program’s initial settlement officers donating his time to assist the Compton court in settling its family law cases. The reason for the DSO program is that the courts had to dismantle the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) program in the last round of budget cuts. The Los Angeles County Bar Family Law section stepped in to fill the gap. The courts are interested in providing improved service to members of the Compton community.
