At Gates, Gonter, Guy, Proudfoot & Muench LLP, we stand out in Orange County and throughout California as trial attorneys. Together, our four named, partners' trial experience includes: Hundreds of trials handled Approximately 400 trials conducted to verdict A verdict success rate of approximately 96 percent Extensive Involvement in Trial Law's Most Exclusive Professional Organization Our trial experience and skills are further illustrated by our involvement in the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA). Very few trial lawyers qualify for membership, which is contingent on extensive jury trial experience and is by invitation only. Our firm includes six active ABOTA members. Further, our attorneys who are ABOTA members train our remaining lawyers in the ABOTA skill set of "skills, civility, and integrity". Our trial experience favorably compares to that of the thousands of attorneys across California who have minimal courtroom experience and who seek to settle every case. Our trial experience also allows us to provide clients with a full range of legal options regarding the litigation, negotiation, mediation, or arbitration of their case. We Can Litigate Virtually Any Type of Case Our practice is not limited by case type and includes personal injury cases, business and real estate disputes, employment litigation, probate, and construction defect litigation. In addition, our partners have all mediated over 1,000 cases. Contact Us Our firm is available for evening and weekend appointments, operates four offices to better serve clients, charges reasonable and competitive rates, and accepts credit cards.
