Northern California Mediation Attorney

Mediation is a private, informal process in which a neutral third party (mediator) helps disputing parties to reach an agreement. Mediation allows for efficient resolution of a dispute (i.e., divorce), and has the following benefits:

  • Efficient
  • Cost-effective
  • Allows for creativity
  • Private and confidential

Your mediation attorney must be creative in tailoring methods to fit the unique circumstances each new case presents. At Bryan●Hinshaw in San Francisco, California, our experienced lawyers offer creative, personalized mediation services to resolve disputes involving divorce and family law, probate law, real estate, business litigation, construction, homeowners' associations, and civil discovery. Contact a Northern California mediation attorney today.

Attorney Richard M. Bryan has served as an arbitrator, divorce mediator, constitutional judge (rent-a-judge), referee, and Special Master. Both he and attorney Caroline Hinshaw act as counsel for parties in mediation. We also deal in collaborative law, which emphasizes the importance of negotiation and problem solving.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as arbitration and mediation are common, effective means for settling legal disputes. ADR methods focus on conflict resolution rather than on opposition as in traditional litigation. Contact us today.
