As a public service, Dr. Geissler serves as a court-appointed general civil mediator for medical malpractice litigation, workers’ compensation appeals and, of course, trademark-infringement cases.  Mediation seems to be a good fit for the uncommon Dr. Geissler.  He makes light of the fact that for years people have told him that his opinion is of no value; now the Supreme Court of Tennessee agrees!”  Indeed, Dr. Geissler has the broad perspective required of a good-humored mediator and yet is extremely well versed in the lexicon of interpersonal conflict.
