REAL. TRIAL. LAWYERS.

Your legal team in California.

The attorneys at Schonbuch Hallissy LLP are REAL. TRIAL. LAWYERS. Not in name—by record.

Our firm includes five ABOTA trial lawyers and a team that has collectively tried over 100 cases to verdict. We are in the courtroom when it matters most—selecting juries with precision, presenting evidence with clarity, and delivering persuasive, results-driven advocacy. While many civil litigators focus on motion practice, we are built for trial. That is why clients turn to us—often on the eve of trial—as trusted “parachute counsel” when the stakes are highest and resolution is no longer an option.
