Mr. Hermes is a Los Angeles native who grew up in a busy, hard-working, close Italian family. He brings with him the compassion and down-to-earth practical approach grounded in the desire for successful settlement outcomes that serve and advance family narratives.

Mr. Hermes started his career in Family Law with Stephen A. Kolodny, Esq., then created and managed the Family Law Department at Stockwell Harris Widom and Woolverton. As partner and senior litigator at Kolodny and Anteau in Beverly Hills, he handled high-profile, complex, family law matters dealing with prominent entertainment, business and sports personalities, among other clientele. In 2000, he formed Hermes & Glavin, LLP and then pursued a private Family Law practice, Hermes Law Group.

Mr. Hermes is well-respected by colleagues and judges as well as court personnel in a career spanning over 48 years. It is with great joy that he expands his legal practice and inaugurates his new role as a Mediator in service to attorneys and their clients and the Southern California legal community to provide easier, more affordable and effective dispute resolution outcomes, among other jurisdictions.
