We deeply value our relationships with our esteemed colleagues and are active in the legal community. Please visit the websites below for more information on the leading organizations in the legal industry.
American Association for Justice
(Formerly ATLA ) The Mission of the American Association for Justice is
to promote a fair and effective justice system—and to support the work
of attorneys in their efforts to ensure that any person who is injured
by the misconduct or negligence of others can obtain justice in
America’s courtrooms, even when taking on the most powerful interests.

Consumer Attorneys of California
The Consumer Attorneys of California is a professional organization made
up of nearly 3,000 attorneys who represent plaintiffs seeking
accountability from those who do wrong. Attorneys and their clients face
opponents with far more power and access to resources: Big polluters,
insurance companies, automobile manufacturers and banks. CAOC members
take only those cases they view as worthy, invest their own resources in
pushing those cases to court and are paid under the contingency fee
system only if their clients achieve a successful result. CAOC maintains
a vigilant presence in Sacramento with a team of legislative advocates
who continually fight to ensure that our courts remain accessible to all
and to level the playing field for underdog consumers facing wealthy
and powerful foes.

San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association
The San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association is a charitable organization
that provides a multitude of benefits and services to plaintiffs
attorneys, defense attorneys, law students, and law office supporting
staff. For over fifty years, SFTLA has served the needs of the
plaintiff’s bar. The main goal is to provide continuing legal education
to attorneys, but they also offer everything from a group health plan to
fun networking events. Catering mostly to the small firm, SFTLA finds
ways to help practitioners with the business of running a firm, working
especially hard to bring together both sides of the aisle, members of
the Bench, and local legislators, so that members can have a greater
impact on the legal community.

Their mission is designed to serve the San Francisco
community and provide benefits to members from the sole practitioner, to
the lawyer who works in a 100+ person firm, to the Barrister (licensed
10 years or less), to the more senior attorney, to the in-house lawyer.
They provide award winning pro bono projects and volunteer opportunities
to lawyers who want to give back and provide diversity educational
programs through the Justice & Diversity Center (JDC). They offer
leadership opportunities for thousands of San Francisco legal
professionals and strive for diversity in the legal profession to better
reflect the community in which we live.

Queen’s Bench Bar Association
Queen’s Bench Bar Association of the San Francisco Bay Area was formed
in 1921 by a group of women lawyers frustrated by the resistance of male
lawyers to their participation in the local bar association. Queen’s
Bench seeks to advance the interests of women in law and society, and
plays an integral part in furthering the progress of women in the legal
profession. They are a non-profit voluntary membership organization made
up of attorneys, judges and law students. They gain inspiration from
their long and proud tradition of women lawyers standing up for equal
rights and equal opportunity, and working together to achieve goals.
