Why Integrity Matters More Than Winning the Case | George Straggas | The Power Of Integrity Podcast

What does integrity look like when two people don’t trust each other, but still need to resolve their dispute?

In this episode of The Power of Integrity, host Ralph Adamo talks with George D. Straggas, attorney and Founder of Mediation Solutions, about why the values behind the legal process matter just as much as the process itself.

With over 38 years of experience in California litigation and mediation, George explains why he left a major law firm to build a practice where client service, transparency, and honesty, not billable hours, drive decision-making. He discusses the growing pressure on California’s overloaded courts and how mediation is no longer a luxury, it’s often the only viable path to resolution.

George also opens up about saying “no” to new business when it doesn’t align with his firm’s values, why being consistent builds long-term trust with clients and attorneys alike, and how integrity shows up in the quiet moments when no one’s watching.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why 97% of court cases must settle and what that means for your business
• How to identify red flags before taking on a new client
• What true neutrality means in high-stakes legal mediation

🎙 Podcast Quote: "Integrity starts the moment you wake up. If you're asking, ‘How can I help today?’, you're already on the right path." – George D. Straggas
