California Coverage 
The firm was established in California in 1950. Our seven law offices cover the 58 counties in this amazingly diverse state. Our centrally located Los Angeles and Sacramento offices serve major metropolitan areas. The entire Bay Area is covered by our San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland offices. Our Fresno office serves the state’s growing Central Valley. 

Local Knowledge 
Through our northern and southern California offices, our attorneys have represented local and national clients in jurisdictions all over the state. We know the local courts and judges, the variations in jury pools in different parts of the state and we probably know most of the expert witnesses you’re likely to encounter. 

Personal relationships
Each office is large enough to handle complex litigation and small enough to allow direct contact with individual attorneys. Responsiveness and communication are essential to delivering the best client service, which is one of our greatest strengths.
