ATTACHMENT TO MACOMB CIRCUIT COURT CASE EVALUATOR APPLICATION ROBERT J. HRIBAR (P15195) 2. I have served as a mediator, then case evaluator on a general civil panel continuously since 1978. 3. 6. I have maintained an active general practice of law in Macomb County since ecember 30, 1966. My original office in Macomb County was located in the City of Eastpointe, Michigan where I was first an associate with Joseph E. Mihelich, Attorney and, thereafter, in my own office until 1987 when I moved my practice from Eastpointe to Clinton Township. Since July 1987, I have maintained an active practice at 16931 Nineteen Mile Rd., Ste. 100, Clinton Township, Michigan. 7. About 90% of my practice has been in civil litigation, much of it involving contractual matters including litigation and drafting of various documents, real estate disputes and, again, drafting of real estate documents. I served as attorney for the City of Eastpointe/East etroit for 36 years, trying civil disputes, resolving employee contracts, labor disputes and mediating or arbitrating municipal maters. I often served as sole arbitrator regarding municipal issues. Almost all my municipal matters concerned civil issues, civil disputes and/or civil litigation as either a Plaintiff or efendant. I have also served as a private mediator and/or arbitrator, being appointed to such cases by either Circuit Court Judges or attorneys for private litigants.
