Civil Litigation

At our firm, we prioritize resolving disputes in the most efficient, strategic, and cost-effective manner possible. While we are fully prepared to advocate for our clients in court, our first focus is always on practical solutions—especially those available through mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

We believe that all of our lawyers, regardless of their practice area, benefit from a strong foundation in trial court practice. The analytical thinking, poise, and sound judgment required in litigation inform our approach across the board. That said, litigation is rarely the first or best answer. We counsel our clients on realistic, results-oriented alternatives, including mediation and arbitration, which can often provide faster, less adversarial, and more economical outcomes.

When litigation becomes necessary, we provide our clients with clear, candid advice about their position and develop a strategy that balances legal risk with business needs. Our goal is always to help clients navigate disputes in a way that protects their interests without unnecessary cost or delay.

Our attorneys have represented clients in a wide range of dispute resolution settings: from county and state trial courts and appellate courts throughout California, to mediations, arbitrations, and administrative proceedings before regulatory agencies. In every setting, we combine legal insight with practical thinking to help our clients move forward with confidence and clarity.
