About Us

It starts with trust

Our clients trust us because we’re honest, and we know what we’re doing. For new clients, we offer an initial consultation at no charge, so you can meet with us, and make sure we’re the right fit for you. At your consultation, you’ll meet with an attorney to discuss the details of your situation, learn how we can help you, and get to know us. After the consultation, if we’re the attorneys you decide to work with, we’ll help you take the next step.

Fixed fees for all services

We offer fixed fees for all of our services. You’ll know how much our services will cost before we get started, and we’ll discuss your options with you along the way. Fixed fees, rather than traditional hourly billing, allow us to represent you in the most efficient way possible. With this system, our goals are always aligned with yours.

Our approach

We look at things other law firms are doing, we look at the things our clients want, and we look for ways we can do our work better. That’s where we start developing new concepts, new ways of providing legal services, and new ways of caring for our clients.

Strong relationships: the best protection

We find that, when a client hires San Diego Law Firm, we become that person’s attorneys for life. We are a small, stable law firm, established in 1988. Our attorneys specialize in everything you need to protect yourself, your family, and your business in the situation that brought you here today, as well as any that may arise in the years to come.

No matter what the situation, San Diego Law Firm is always there, making sure you get the best representation possible. If you think we may be the right attorneys to help with your legal matter, please let us know.

Committed to the long term

We celebrate employees who have made it to their three year mark with a Being Made ceremony in honor of the employee. Despite the jesting Mafioso reference, we treat this as an occasion to fondly reflect on the contributions the Made employee has made to SDLF throughout their tenure. Family and friends of the Made employee are invited to attend and join in the celebration, where the Made employee is then presented with a trophy in honor of their accomplishment. Made employees are then in a position to bargain for additional perks such as a pay raise, additional vacation time, signing an employment contract for an additional two or three year term, etc.

It is with great pride that we designate dedicated employees as Made, as it is our goal to provide our employees with a stable work life that they enjoy year after year. Establishing and honoring long-term relationships is just one way we accomplish this goal. This allows us to provide the best service possible to our customers by giving them familiar faces to turn to for their important legal situations, and to provide them with knowledgeable service.

San Diego Law Firm was recently named one of the Top 10 “Best Places to Work” by San Diego Business Journal.
