Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, based on the San Francisco Peninsula for over 40 years, engages exclusively in litigation. The firm's dedication to prosecuting or defending socially just actions has earned it both a national and statewide reputation. With offices in Burlingame, Los Angeles, New York and the Washington D.C. area, the core of the firm is its people and their dedication to principles of law, their work ethic and commitment to justice.

The key to the success of the firm is its staff and innovative approach to litigate complex matters in a cost effective and efficient manner. All too often, legal matters can draw out for years — but CP&M consistently tackles this problem head-on with its teamwork approach to obtaining good and reasonable resolutions. Litigating difficult and complex matters is a challenge to the firm and its staff.

Clients include individuals, corporations, profit and non-profit, municipalities and public entities, unions and representatives, banks, business people, doctors, professional people, policy holders, homeowners, shareholders and consumers — all in litigation before the courts.

“The Cotchett firm has few peers that equal their ability in litigation. Their commitment to the cause of justice and their ethical standards stand apart. They are people who give back to the community and give lawyers a good name.”

— Hon. Melvin Cohn, Judge Retired
