JAMS Silicon Valley "The Premier ADR Facility for Complex Estate and Trust Litigation in Silicon Valley" As a California estate litigation attorney with nearly 50 years of experience representing clients in trust disputes, contested probate matters, and elder financial abuse cases throughout Northern, Central, and Southern California, I have appeared before mediators across the state. JAMS Silicon Valley in San Jose stands at the top of any ADR facility I have encountered. Located at 160 W. Santa Clara Street in San Jose, JAMS Silicon Valley handles the full range of complex civil disputes with a panel of neutrals whose judicial experience and legal sophistication are immediately evident. For estate litigators dealing with multi-million dollar inheritance claims, trustee misconduct, contested trust amendments, undue influence, or elder financial abuse, the neutrals here bring the depth of preparation and command of California law that these cases demand. They understand what moves parties and what resolves disputes. The facility itself matches the quality of its panel — professional, confidential, and logistically seamless for in-person and hybrid proceedings. The case management team is responsive, organized, and attentive to the operational complexity that serious multi-party litigation requires. For California attorneys and clients navigating contested estate matters, trust litigation, fiduciary breach claims, or elder financial abuse disputes in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley — JAMS Silicon Valley is the answer. Highest recommendation. — Michael A. Hackard | Hackard Law California Estate & Trust Litigation | Elder Financial Abuse | Sacramento, CA

Mediation is tough and emotional but both less guy-wrenching and less expensive than going to trial. JAMS provided fair and very knowledgeable service that both sides could live with. Their facilities were convenient.
