Client Feedback
“[We] like to think not just outside the box, [we] like to use tactics from another dimension.”
Daily Journal quoting Bartko litigation partner, Top IP Lawyers in California
“We thrive on representing both plaintiffs and defendants…. Working both sides of the courtroom makes us very skilled at the chess match that is high-stakes litigation….”
Daily Journal quoting Bartko litigation partner, Bartko LLP
“When your adversary knows you’re always working toward trial, it gives you leverage and keeps the pressure on. Most litigators aren’t really trial lawyers—they try to win on the papers because trial scares them. So, it’s a natural advantage when you really want to get into the courtroom. People sense it.”
