LAW OFFICES OF WILLIAM G. HANSON: CALIFORNIA
The Law Offices of William G.

Our offices are located in Walnut Creek, just north of the Walnut Creek Bart Station.
WILLIAM G. HANSON
PRINCIPAL ATTORNEY
The Law Offices of William G. Hanson were opened in 2002 in response to a growing need to make legal solutions more practical and affordable. As an alumni of several highly regarded large national law firms, Hanson saw the ability to reduce fees and bring practical solutions to more people and businesses by employing creative problem solving techniques not often considered by traditionally conservative large law firms. Now, with over thirty years of experience as a civil trial lawyer, Hanson continues to provide efficient, high-quality, and affordable dispute resolution services and is a wise alternative to larger firms costing considerably more.
WHAT CAN WE HELP YOU WITH?
LIMITING THE DOWNSIDE, MAXIMIZING THE UPSIDE: CONTRACT DRAFTING AND NEGOTIATION
Considering entering into a business agreement, signing a contract or buying or selling property? What is written into a contract matters. Contract terms dictate your rights in the event a dispute arises. Once we understand your objectives and goals, we efficiently draft and negotiate contract terms to advance your interests and to protect you in the event things do not go as planned.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
We have the tools and experience to provide you with options and solutions. Depending on the details, resolving the dispute may call for mediation, arbitration, or litigation, or sometimes, just a meeting where agreements can be made. We have a long history of successful advocacy, not only in the trial courts but also in all alternative dispute resolution forums.
AGGRESSIVE LITIGATION & TRIAL ADVOCACY
Our strength and expertise in all of the areas we practice law comes from our history of success at trial. On those occasions where settlement cannot be reached, we do not hesitate to take a more aggressive approach. Should your case call for litigation, we will advocate fiercely and unapologetically through trial. This is our forte.
