Stinson LLP

For over 70 years, we have provided consistent, reliable, unwavering support to our Clients. The ethic here is service in its best, truest sense. Severson lawyers are taught from the start that our Clients know their business, its environment, and their ultimate needs better than we do. We know that our success depends on long-term partnership with our clients. We listen closely, consider fully and then provide honest, straightforward advice and energetic, committed advocacy. Severson & Werson has been an integral part of the growth and health of the modern financial services and insurance industries nationwide. Our Clients include banks, market funded consumer and automobile finance companies, mortgage bankers, and domestic and foreign insurance companies. As a result of its services to financial institutions, Severson has developed depth and expertise in consumer class action litigation unsurpassed by any other firm of any size. Likewise, Severson's historical insurance practice led the firm to develop one of the premier construction practices in California, focused on the representation of architects, engineers, construction managers and environmental professionals. Client demands and opportunities have led the firm to expand into and excel in many areas beyond these historical core practices, including employment practices, intellectual property, unfair business practices, real estate, professional liability and other areas. When our clients are confronted by litigation, our aim is not to multiply disputes but to resolve them ? to bring every matter to a swift, successful end. But critical to this approach is absolute mastery of the trial process ? so that our Clients can face and end serious litigation threats with confidence. In this era of high stakes and early settlements, real trial skills have become vanishingly rare. Not so at Severson, where we have an extraordinary wealth of winning trial experience in jurisdictions nationwide. Our Clients know that alternative resolution and/or settlement are strategic and financial options - but not a necessity. Severson & Werson attorneys are admitted to practice in federal courts at all levels throughout the U.S., and licensed in California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington.
