Relying on decades of combined experience, Caulfield Law Firm brings clarity to the often muddy waters of civil litigation for its public entity and corporate clients throughout Northern California. We strive to combine a large firm level of legal advocacy with small firm value and attention to achieve the best, most economical outcome for clients.
We believe in aggressive advocacy while maintaining the highest levels of professionalism and ethical standards. Our four primary practice areas are: public entity defense litigation, business litigation, general civil litigation, and insurance coverage. The most favorable outcome can often be achieved before trial-at the pleadings stage, via a successful dispositive motion, or through strategic settlement.
However, when pre-trial resolution fails, we are prepared. Combined, our attorneys have obtained in excess of 100 trial verdicts, and have handled numerous appeals before state and federal appellate courts. We also understand the significant role that insurance plays for our clients.
