Jake Courtney, Esq. is one of the most successful and well-regarded trial lawyers and civil litigators in the country. After an accomplished 32-year career as a prominent trial attorney, during which he tried over 40 jury and bench trials to verdict and handled numerous high-value arbitrations and multi-million dollar settlements, he stepped down from the practice of law in 2020 to serve as a full-time mediator at ADR Services, Inc.

Having resolved countless cases as a litigator, Mr. Courtney brings a broad perspective to his work to help parties approach matters from every angle, assessing realistic options and the full costs and tradeoffs of litigation and trial. His down-to-earth demeanor, legal acumen, and comprehensive understanding of the unique concerns of disputants have earned him national recognition for helping to craft creative, customized solutions to complex disputes.

Among his distinguished professional affiliations, Mr. Courtney has been a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA) since 2003, where he has held numerous leadership positions, including serving as President of the Los Angeles Chapter and as a Board Member for the Los Angeles Chapter, Cal-ABOTA, and National ABOTA. He is also a Fellow of the International Society of Barristers and the International Academy of Trial Lawyers. In recognition of his exceptional advocacy, he has been honored multiple times as one of the nation's Top 100 Trial Lawyers and as a Southern California Super Lawyer.
