Top best C Lawyers in Pasadena | 748 available

I am committed to delivering the highest level of legal representation regardless of the size of the client or the issues in dispute. As a firm that counts its trial practice as one of its core specialties, we are committed to the principle that aggressive, knowledgeable and efficient preparation creates opportunities for successful outcomes for our clients regardless of the nature of the case. I also devote a significant amount of my practice to the area of Estate Planning where we try and help our clients avoid probate and estate taxes and protect minor children in the event that one or both parents die. Everyone should have a plan "just in case". Estate Planning is not just for the wealthy anymore.. Because we utilize the latest technology, we are always available to our clients and have the capability to respond quickly to fast-moving developments in a case. This is particularly important to many of our East Coast clients whose working day starts hours before most lawyers on the West Coast are getting out of bed.. Unlike other firms, we achieve results for our clients as rather than slavishly following the "process". We treat the process for what it is: subordinate to the goals of the client. "What will advance the objectives of the client?…How will this tactic achieve the client's goals…?" These are the questions we ask and answer when pursuing every matter. Furthermore, our clients play an integral part in the formation of the goals, objectives and tactics and work closely with us in implementing them. We want and expect our clients to be full partners and not merely bystanders in their own matters.. There are "paper lawyers" and there are "trial attorneys". Many lawyers proficient at the "process" fall on their face when asked to convince 12 ordinary people of the righteousness of a particular cause. To be effective at trial a lawyer must have the right mix of street smarts, legal knowledge and ease of presence in front of a jury - in short, "trial charisma". This combination of qualities makes an attorney a worthy opponent before and during trial. Managing partner Christopher Bagnaschi possesses these qualities and has been successful over 80% of the time. When an opposing counsel sizes up our firm, they run a verdict search and quickly conclude that we are not novices or afraid to try cases - an intangible factor in the calculus of litigation.. Whether you are a large corporation or an individual, your matter will benefit from the reputation we enjoy in the legal community. Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help you.

Grace Lea Chang received a Martindale-Hubbell BV® rating from her fellow lawyers.  A BV® rating is bestowed upon a lawyer who has “an exemplary reputation and well-established practice … with a significant client base and high professional standing.”. Ms. Chang began her law practice after working 22 years in the healthcare field; managing a department of a Beckman Instruments and clinical laboratories.  But she desired more intellectually stimulating work and enrolled in law school at the suggestion of her late husband.. While attended law school at night, Grace worked fulltime, often 12-hour days.  Law school proved especially challenging, since English is her second language.  Juggling the raising of two kids and working fulltime, she never considered quitting.. Ms. Chang’s first legal work experience was in a small law firm environment.  This experience taught her the importance of direct client contact and was enjoyable, but she yearned for greater challenges.  She found positions with several large firms in Los Angeles that included four years at one of the largest firms in the United States.  During her large law firm tenure, she learned about maintaining the highest professional standards in her legal work.  Her large firm legal work focused on international corporate litigation..

In addition to providing personal attention to her clients, Ms. Chang has earned a reputation for skillful and effective legal representation, always mindful of the practical solution.. Ms. Chang is fluent in three dialects of Chinese: Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese.  Her practice areas include family law, civil litigation, probate law, wills & trusts and corporate advisement & transactions.

For more than 40 years, I have focused my practice in the areas of business reorganization, corporate insolvency, commercial and bankruptcy litigation, as well as the acquisition of assets and businesses in bankruptcy court and out-of-court workouts. I have served as lead counsel for debtors, creditors (secured and unsecured), creditors’ committees and purchasers in the bankruptcy, restructuring and liquidation of companies.

For 44 years, I have had the privilege of representing good people accused of terrible crimes.  I view my client, not just as another case, but as an individual who "wants to be home for dinner;" a father, a mother, a son or daughter, a brother or sister.. My client has a problem and I have the tools to solve it.   The prosecution is always well-funded and powerful.  A defendant's only hope is that his or her lawyer is smart and tough enough to "level the playing field."   I am recognized among those who have worked with me, whether judge or prosecutor as a tough, intelligent criminal litigator.. I have tried federal cases all over the country, from New York to Washington, and all federal districts in California.  I have tried cases in state courts all over California and even in Minnesotta.   On many occasions, my work at trial has served to reverse convictions illegally obtained.. Of course, no good lawyer can guarantee a result, but I can guarantee that I will devote my time, energy, and superior knowledge to your case.

Family law cases are built on profound life changes. I handle divorces and child custody disputes to walk men and women through those transitions.. I approached my education in earnest and enjoyed my time at the University of Akron School of Law in Ohio.  I performed well academically, wrote for Law review, and graduated magna cum laude.  I learned law during those years, but I learned to lawyer while practicing at the Law Office of Palermo, Barbaro, Chinen and Pitzer, LLP, in Pasadena.  I joined that firm as an associate attorney the day I was sworn in as a member of the California State Bar in December 2007, and was privileged with the mentorship of its partners.  They showed me that the finest case results come from calculated trial preparations, persistence in negotiations, and integrity in all things.  The longer I practice, the more fortunate I feel for the benefit of their uncommon examples at the outset of my career.. In June 2013, I separated from PBCP with the goal of opening a classroom program for self-represented family law litigants.   While developing that curriculum, I’ve continued serving family law clients.  By 2015, my solo practice had grown into a small firm with a capable staff.. Our name was updated in July 2015 to “Marr & Associates.” Typical framing language didn’t sound right. “Law Offices of” and “Attorneys at Law” distinguish lawyers into a separate status.  We chose to designate our practice “Family Law Counsel” to connote parity between clients and advocates.  The trust and understanding that comes from working together as equals is what allows us to tell our clients’ stories persuasively.
