What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
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 10 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.
40 results published
Across 9 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.

G1 LicensureNot checked8 of 10 named attorneys hold an active California licence. 2 do not (Michael T. Thorsnes: Inactive; John F. McGuire Jr.: Inactive). No discipline is recorded against any of them, so this is a licence status rather than a finding of misconduct, and either record may be out of date.
G2 DisciplineNo named attorney carries a disbarment, a suspension or a disciplinary resignation on the State Bar of California's record, across the 10 we identified. Administrative suspensions, which the State Bar states are non-disciplinary, are not counted here
G3 Entity & officeNot published by CA1 physical location verified on Google Business Profile. California publishes no business register we are able to query, so the registration itself is not verified here. The state's own business search is the place to check it.
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 10 named attorneys published.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire charge?
Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire offer a free consultation?
Yes. Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire publishes a free initial consultation. It publishes material in Spanish.
Where does Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire have offices?
Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire publishes one office, in San Diego. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire?
Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire names ten attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: California does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire publishes verified?
No. Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire publishes 40 case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire?
Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire scores 52 and sits at Verified. Passed: website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure, discipline and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
