Gino Brogdon Jr. is a highly regarded mediator and entrepreneur who has committed himself to building the future of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). He specializes in resolving disputes related to medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, complex trucking and auto, business disputes, insurance coverage disputes, negligent security, and premises liability.

With a legal foundation from the University of Georgia School of Law, Gino transitioned into mediation in 2015 and has since facilitated over 1,700 mediations, dedicating more than 6,000 hours to resolving complex disputes. In 2017, he was honored as the youngest inductee to the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals.

Gino is especially skilled in mediating cases where parties are deeply resistant to settlement. His ability to understand the underlying motivations of disputing parties has made him an indispensable resource for attorneys seeking effective resolution. His expertise in navigating high-stakes negotiations, particularly in cases involving contract disputes, death, and catastrophic injury claims, has earned him the distinction of being named the #1 mediator in Georgia in 2023 and the “Best Of” Hall of Fame in 2025 by The Daily Report.

Beyond mediation, Gino is an innovator in the legal tech space. In 2020, he co-founded FourthParty, a cutting-edge practice management platform designed to enhance operational efficiency for mediators and courts. FourthParty quickly gained national recognition, becoming a finalist at the American Bar Association’s 2022 TechShow and securing funding from Google for Startups and Techstars. His work with FourthParty underscores his dedication to modernizing dispute resolution and increasing access to justice.

Gino’s thought leadership extends into academia, legal education, and civic duty. He has served as a lecturer at the University of Georgia School of Law’s Mediation Clinic and the CEASE Clinic, educating the next generation of legal professionals. He also trains judges in mediation through Kennesaw State University’s Center for Conflict Management. His influence in the legal community is further demonstrated by his appointment by Senator John Wilkinson to serve on the State of Georgia Senate Study Committee on the Cost of Doing Business in Georgia.

Committed to social impact, Gino actively mentors aspiring legal professionals and has been a dedicated mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Through The Brogdon Firm, a law firm he founded in 2014, Gino also supports community-driven initiatives, including sponsoring food drives, free legal clinics, and mentorship programs. His past leadership roles in organizations such as the Atlanta Citizens Review Board, LEAD Atlanta, and the Atlanta Bar Association reflect his dedication to community advocacy and justice reform. He is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. and a proud alumnus of Morehouse College. Gino resides in Atlanta with his wife and two sons.
