Custom Content from the Los Angeles Business Journal
There is a special breed or attorney that needs to transcend expert comprehension of the legal system – the litigator. Lawyers who go to the proverbial mat to fight for their clients before judges and jury have their own unique sets of skills. In this special section we share profiles of the very best litigators and trial attorneys in the region. These are the trusted advisors you want in your corner in court. We’ve alphabetically compiled this lineup of superb litigation specialists, along with information about their careers, practice and relevant recent successes they’ve achieved. Congratulations to the attorneys who made our class of ‘22.
