Your purchase or construction contract or deed provisions may require you attempt to resolve disputes through mediation or arbitration or other processes before going to court.

If your construction or real estate contract or purchase agreement calls for mediation or arbitration, as is common in California, or if you purchased a new home or condominium unit, you often must first attempt to resolve your disputes using those or other alternative methods. Attorney Wolff offers clients experience in both mediation and arbitration matters, having served as an arbitrator and counsel for parties in many construction matters both in Court and in mediation, arbitration and other claims processes, including AB800 and the Calderon law.
