Our attorneys bring widely diverse backgrounds and unique experiences to our practice. We are graduates of prestigious colleges and universities, many with honors, and several of us have advanced degrees in other disciplines in addition to the law.

One of our attorneys previously chaired a department that was among the largest in California in his specialty.

Most of us have excelled in more than one career and have mastered more than one legal specialty. Several have held management positions in which we supervised outside counsel.

Several of our attorneys have received the highest ratings given in confidential surveys of the lawyers in this community. A number have held public office.

Many of us have received national recognition for our legal work, lecture in continuing education programs for other lawyers, and have authored articles in national and statewide publications.

Most of us have handled or supervised cases resulting in published appellate opinions.

All of us are litigators, and collectively we are admitted to practice before or have appeared in the state and federal courts of half a dozen states.

A common thread is our dedication to clear, concise, analytical writing and aggressive, persuasive advocacy.
