Practice Areas

ADR, Mediation & Arbitration

San Francisco Mediation Lawyers

People use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation or arbitration because the process can be cost effective and more efficient than traditional litigation. It also allows for greater creativity and problem solving, and keeps disputes private and confidential. Contact a San Francisco mediation lawyer today.

At the Northern California law firm of Bryan • Hinshaw, we bring extensive experience, and the wealth of complementary disciplines that fosters favorable resolutions for our clients. For example, both estate planning and family law asset division involve the valuation, trade, and exchange of assets among parties to resolve ownership interest. Such overlap of concepts allows for creative problem solving and efficient resolution.
