Representation in Mediation and Arbitration

Although litigation is sometimes unavoidable, it can be costly and time-consuming.  Many legal disputes can be resolved efficiently and cost-effectively through alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as mediation and arbitration, which can prove more efficient and cost-effective.  Firm partners M. Kendall Hillman, Matthew R. Lucas, and Joseph M. Canning have extensive experience representing clients in mediations and arbitrations across an array of legal practice areas, including estates, real property, and business and commercial disputes.

Mediators in Trust and Estate Disputes, Real Estate Disputes, and Business Matters

Mediations are informal meetings guided by a trained impartial third party, where the disputing parties are guided toward a mutually-satisfactory resolution to their conflict.  Firm members M. Kendall Hillman and Matthew R. Lucas serve as mediators in estate disputes, including will contests and trust contests; disputes over real estate; and business matters.  Mr. Hillman completed mediator training programs with the Mediation Offices of Steven Rosenberg and the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University.  Our mediators have served on the Solano County Court’s Panel of Mediators and have developed significant expertise in providing quality mediation services to litigants.
