This national firm has had a small office in San Diego for about 15 years. While the firm as a whole considers itself full service, the attorneys in this office primarily handle litigation matters throughout California, appearing on behalf of corporate and insurance clients in both state and federal matters throughout a number of Southwestern states including Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. While this is certainly not a top tier firm, it is well respected in its class. If you went to a local San Diego law school, this would be a good firm to consider, as it has small congenial atmosphere, good work, and fair pay.
