About ADR Services, Inc.


ADR Services, Inc. is one of California’s premier providers of alternative dispute resolution. Founded in 1994 by Lucie Barron, the company has grown from a few conference rooms in Los Angeles to offices in every major legal market in the state, including San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. Its exclusive panel of more than 130 distinguished neutrals, drawn from the bench and the trial bar, handles mediations, arbitrations, discovery references, special masterships, private trials, and mock trials across virtually every practice area, and the firm offers an active MCLE program for the legal community.

The firm’s San Francisco office at 525 Market Street features state-of-the-art hearing rooms for in-person and hybrid proceedings. ADR Services, Inc. is a year-round Underwriter of Queen’s Bench, and its ties to our association span generations: our 1979 President, Hon. Ina Levin Gyemant (Ret.), previously served on its panel of neutrals, and today the panel includes Hon. Tani Cantil-Sakauye (Ret.), former Chief Justice of California, alongside three retired judges who are current members of our association.
