Judge Belen joined JAMS in 2012 after 18 years as a distinguished jurist. His last appointment was as a Justice of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Second Department. An arbitrator and mediator in complex domestic and international disputes, he also serves as special master in complex commercial and civil matters and was the Federal Facilitator in the NYPD Stop-and-Frisk Monitorship.
One client notes: “Judge Belen is unequivocally, the best mediator I have worked with. He has a quiet, graceful, low-key, patient approach that gets the opposing sides gradually toward a resolution.”
Judge Belen is an accomplished international speaker and trainer on ADR. He can effectively communicate with Spanish-speaking clients and has been retained as an expert on NY law for litigations in Mexico and South Korea and as a neutral evaluator of appeals to NY appellate courts.
