We Answer Your Call.
​
We provide clients in
San Diego, Riverside,
Los Angeles, and Orange County large firm expertise, in-depth knowledge, and superior quality legal counsel with small firm personalized service.

LBLG  is a high stakes civil litigation and business law firm with over 30 years of experience in representing a diverse clientele throughout California.  Committed to legal excellence and absolute integrity in the representation of our clients, we offer innovative strategies and solutions to our clients' legal issues.  

Small on purpose, LBLG has the in-depth knowledge, acumen, and experience to handle even the most complicated legal cases and issues. It is the rare case that requires the involvement of more than one experienced and knowledgeable attorney and, though exceptional legal services are expensive, LBLG is structured to keep each client's costs and fees reasonable without sacrificing  quality representation.  Our clients do not pay for unnecessary overhead or a learning curve. Instead, LBLG is staffed with seasoned, of-counsel attorneys and contract paralegals rather than young associates and support personnel. 

A core part of  LBLG's practice is federal and state court litigation over a broad spectrum of business, commercial, and real estate disputes.  We represent clients in many different industries such as manufacturing, software design, finance, real estate, construction, retail, medical, mortgage industry, and professional services. Our extensive business, corporate, and real estate practice spans over 30 years.  In addition, building on decades of trial and litigation experience, LBLG provides a hands-on strategic approach to complex family law matters.
