I was born and raised in the Greenbrae hills of Marin County, California, next to beautiful Mt. Tamalpais and the San Francisco Bay. I graduated from Redwood High School in 1981, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science, with a minor in Business Administration, from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1985. I received my law degree (JD) from Santa Clara University School of Law in 1989. I am a member of the State Bar of California, the Marin County Bar Association, and am a former member of the Santa Clara, San Mateo & San Francisco Bar Associations.. I began my legal career with the law firm Ropers, Majeski, Kohn, Bentley, Wagner & Kane in Redwood City, California. I specialized in Appellate & Insurance Coverage/Bad Faith defense for two years before transferring to the firm's San Jose offices to handle complex litigation in the areas of product liability, construction defect and severe personal injuries. In 1996, I joined the litigation firm of Shiver & Gulick in San Francisco which specialized in business and corporate law. At that time, I expanded my practice to include real estate matters including partition, easement & title disputes, and eminent domain.. Desiring to represent clients on a personal "one-to-one" basis, I opened the Law Office of Michael O. Lamphere in downtown San Francisco in 1996. I continued to specialize in general civil litigation. In 2000, I merged my law office with the Law Office of Paul O. Lamphere of Martinez, California, forming Lamphere Law Offices, LLP.  Our new firm specialized in eminent domain and other real estate litigation, as well as all personal injuries, malpractice & insurance disputes. The firm combined 58 years of trial experience in the California State and Federal courts. In April 2003, Paul retired from the practice of law after 43 years, and the firm became the sole proprietorship, Lamphere Law Offices. I moved our offices to the current San Rafael location in 2015.. With 26 years of litigation trial experience,  I have developed a keen understanding of the court system, its judges and juries, and the hard work that is required to successfully resolve a civil dispute. To that end, I approach my clients' cases with a time-tested formula: "Prepare" the case by listening to my client, understanding their concerns, marshaling  all the facts,  intensively researching the law, and being better prepared than our opposition; "Fight" to convince our opposition and, if needed, a jury of the merits of my client's case, and "Succeed" by achieving a fair result for which my client will say I fought hard for them and justice was done.

I spend my free time with my family.   When the weather is nice, we like to go to the beach or hike the trails in Mairn County.  I like to travel.  I love Paris.  I love Hawaii.  I don't have "hobbies" unless you count all of the times that I have tried to learn to knit.  I enjoy puttering around my garden listening to music.. I grew up in Fresno.  My dad is an almond grower.  I always say that Fresno was a nice place to grow up.  We skied in the winter and spent our summers in Santa Cruz.   I have lived in the Bay Area ever since I left Fresno to go to college.  I have lived in Marin County for almost thirty years.

I received my Juris Doctorate degree from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, and graduated cum laude with College Honors from University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science.. I am experienced in handling various types of family law matters. Whether you are seeking a terminate your marriage, establish child custody, child support, or spousal support, or are faced with any other family law issue, I will stand by your side and help you get through this difficult time. While in many situations parties reach a settlement before trial, I have the skills necessary to competently and zealously advocate for you in court if necessary.. I deeply value serving my San Francisco Bay Area community. I dedicate countless hours of pro bono legal services to low-income clients.. Community Involvements

I provide my clients with excellent, effective, efficient and ethical representation.  I do not shy away from difficult cases.  I am able to negotiate favorable dispositions or take a case to trial and win.  I will treat you with respect  and dignity.  I make myself available to answer any questions or concerns as they develop.  I enjoy being active in my community and volunteering my time coaching youth football.. I handle all types of criminal cases, from felonies to misdemeanors.  I also represent clients in post conviction proceedings such as probation violations, expungements, and motions to terminate probation early.  I handle DUIS, drug crimes, violent crime, domestic violence cases, property crime, and all other types of criminal offenses.

I graduated from UC Hastings in 2014 with diverse social justice and legal aid work experience. I bring my passion for civil and human rights, as well as corporate accountability, to advocate for injured parties in the personal injury field.

I am a solo practitioner who takes one or two cases at a time, in order to give my clients better value. I often take pro bono cases.

I am a dedicated advocate.  I fight for the best outcome for my clients.  I will do the same for you, if you become my client.

Fortune 500 and small business clients, as well as state and local entities, rely on me for my industry knowledge, aggressive advocacy and practical advice.  I have served as national, regional and local counsel for a variety of businesses (as well as governmental entities), who depend on my ability to handle complex commercial litigation in state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels in a cost-effective, results-oriented manner.   As the first college-educated member of my family and the daughter of two small-business owners, I appreciate the challenges companies face remaining competitive in a rapidly changing business environment without running afoul of state and federal laws and regulations. I focus on helping clients solve their problems based on their goals defined at the outset of a matter—not meeting some billable-hour requirement comprised of unnecessary tasks billed out in six-minute increments.  I pride myself on efficiency—and my staunch commitment to delivering top-notch services and results on complex commercial litigation matters at a fair, reasonable price.  Clients describe me as a “brilliant strategist,” “excellent communicator,” “cracker jack” and a “value for the money.” In the trial court arena, I have achieved early dismissal at the pleading stage over 75% of the time.  I also have never had a class certified against any of my clients.  I am currently 6-0. In the appellate arena, I have won 80% of my appeals (including the ones that have made their way to the U.S. Supreme Court).  Most recently, I first chaired a nearly two-month-long harassment case brought against California’s Department of Parks and Recreation concerning allegations of sexual discrimination and harassment based on an employee’s sexual orientation, which resulted in an extremely favorable outcome for my client.

For over 20 years I have assisted clients in commercial and consumer disputes in matters involving federal securities laws, state laws governing the conduct of fiduciaries and corporations, and state laws governing conduct directed at consumers.
