ABOUT US

Trusted Mediation & Arbitration Backed by Decades of Experience

Ashworth ADR Solutions serves a targeted audience seeking to resolve disputes outside of court through mediation or arbitration. Arbitration functions similarly to a bench trial but is conducted on a scheduled basis with a mutually agreed-upon arbitrator, allowing parties to avoid the delays and uncertainty of courtroom proceedings.

With 47 years of experience as a trial attorney and 38 years devoted to Alternative Dispute Resolution, my work through Ashworth ADR is focused exclusively on helping individuals, businesses, and attorneys settle disputes efficiently and fairly—without the stress, expense, or prolonged timelines associated with litigation. I strive to create a balanced, solutions-focused environment where all parties feel heard and supported.

I was admitted to the California State Bar in 1978 and am admitted to practice before the United States District Courts for the Central, Eastern, and Southern Districts of California, as well as the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. I am an active member of the Beverly Hills Bar Association and bring professionalism, clarity, and integrity to every mediation and arbitration I conduct.
