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

LFL Verified 2026

Every eligibility gate this firm's state allows us to check has been checked and held: licensure, discipline, entity, website and footprint. Certification additionally requires a score of 70.

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 3 we identified. Administrative suspensions, which the State Bar states are non-disciplinary, are not counted here

4.88 average over 162 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.
