“I'd like WEST OF LEGAL to look at the issues at hand, explore legal options that are available, and to provide listeners with resources that they can use to protect and educate themselves about their rights. Sometimes people are afraid to look at their legal rights because of misconceptions about the law and lawyers, and I want to dispel those myths,” said Seegmiller.
In addition to serving as a mediator, Seegmiller spent 10 years as a Pro Tem judge for the California Supreme Court and is a member of the Professional Association for the Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, the American Bar Association, the Consumer Attorneys of California, the American Association for Justice, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the Elite Lawyers of America.
Seegmiller holds a JD from the McGeorge School of Law University of the Pacific in Sacramento, where he served as a member of the Pacific Law Review.

Through the Victims Federal Relief Fund, the largest pro bono project in the legal history of the nation, these families received extensive legal services at no charge.
