Both sides of the table. For thirty years.
Robert C. Sheps has spent more than three decades inside property damage litigation — and, critically, on both sides of it. He has prosecuted subrogation actions for the country's leading carriers, defended property claims, and tried complex third-party matters in state and federal courts. That dual perspective — the aggressive pursuit of recovery and the practical economics of defense — is what he brings to the mediation table.
He is the managing attorney of Sheps Law Group PC in Huntington, New York, with a practice concentrated in subrogation and property damage litigation on behalf of major insurance companies. The continuous trial-and-recovery experience — not retirement from the bench, not credentials in the abstract — is the foundation of his work as a neutral. Robert has handled everything from cases involving small house fires to being selected as Liaison Counsel by 135 law firms in a complex steam pipe explosion case. Robert also handles the September 11th litigation currently pending in the Southern District of New York and has lectured on fire law related issues for the New York State Bar Association. Robert will bring value to your mediation process.
Robert founded Keystone to give property practitioners a mediator who already lives in the same evidentiary, technical, and economic landscape as the parties. The result is mediation that reaches resolution faster, with materially less education time, and with both sides walking away believing the file was actually heard.
