About us

Founded in 1978, our team at Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire has built our practice by providing quality, straightforward legal guidance to our clients from San Diego and the surrounding area. In fact, our firm was one of the first contingency fee firms in San Diego to win over $2 billion in verdicts and settlements.

Our attorneys invest heavily in custom-tailored strategies for every case we pursue. Several of our cases have established important legal precedents; pioneered the use of technology, such as digital media, at trial; or were defined by extraordinary public interest. Every client’s case gets the same treatment as would one of our family.

From the start, our firm has earned numerous commendations for the successes that we have brought to our clients. Our lawyers belong to leading legal organizations, many of which admit only proven attorneys with track records of significant results. Participation in these organizations shows that we have a recognized history of offering our clients quality legal representation and advocating for their interests.

The prestige we receive stems from extensive peer reviews of our longevity, reputation and courtroom record as well as the standing that we have earned as a firm with a team that will fight smart and hard both in and out of the courtroom.
