What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

LFL Distinguished 2026

Scored 78 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 85 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.

No public discipline

No named attorney carries a disbarment, a suspension or a disciplinary resignation on the State Bar of California's record, across the 5 we identified. Administrative suspensions, which the State Bar states are non-disciplinary, are not counted here

4.9 average over 189 reviews

A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.

Service in Spanish

Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.

24 results published

Across 7 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.
