A Stockton attorney with experience in arbitration and litigationEarly in his career, Mr. Quinn’s natural talents for advocacy and negotiation led many of his colleagues to suggest he pursue a career that would keep him actively devoted to settling cases. By focusing on mediation and arbitration and amassing three decades of experience representing plaintiffs and defendants, he has done just that. Mr. Quinn possesses a unique skill set for resolving disputes outside of trial that many mediation attorneys simply cannot match.

Mr. Quinn has also remained engaged in legal education and study and has kept abreast of trends, precedents and decisions in several areas of legal practice.

While he still focuses primarily on practicing as a Northern California mediation and arbitration attorney, Mr. Quinn remains adept in the courtroom, having tried more than 140 jury trials to conclusion during his career. He has received and maintains the prestigious AV Distinguished Peer Review Rating (SM) from Martindale-Hubbell which reflects his sterling reputation within the California legal community.
