Our History
ESKRIDGE LAW was in existence in Los Angeles County since 1997 – originally in Torrance, and now in Los Angeles. In January 2022, ESKRIDGE LAW opened a second office, in Sacramento County, so that it is now positioned to serve both Northern and Southern California. In 2023, ESKRIDGE LAW became ESKRIDGE LAW & MEDIATION.
Although ESKRIDGE LAW began as a litigation firm, over the years its principal, Gayle L. Eskridge, gradually transitioned into devoting more and more of her practice to serving as an arbitrator and mediator. Now, ESKRIDGE LAW & MEDIATION is an arbitration and mediation provider which represents only a handful of long-time private clients. Gayle L. Eskridge can be retained through the American Arbitration Association or by contacting the firm directly, at either of its locations.
