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

Service in Spanish

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

54 years average at the bar
