You won’t find a mission statement here. We are Central Valley and Central Coast trial lawyers. This is our turf – it’s where we live and where we practice law. We know the judges, the lawyers, the juries. We have used that knowledge to successfully represent our clients here since 1971. We are proud of our Martindale-Hubbell rating as an AV® Rated Preeminent law firm, a rating obtained by only 5% of firms nationwide.

Our practice is busy and challenging. We work up our cases, but we do not overwork them. We have been able to avoid the mandatory billing minimums and the nearly unmanageable case loads that you often find in the “Big City”.

Our attorneys are skilled in both defending and prosecuting a variety of cases, including premises liability, personal injury, employment related matters and product defect cases, among others.

Emerson, Corey & Sorensen attorneys have over 100 cumulative years experience practicing law in California and are held to the highest degree of professionalism.
