About Us

Pacific Trial Attorneys offers a unique approach to litigation:  we handle only those cases where we believe strongly enough in our clients’ position that we will share their risk of loss.  For example, we recently defended one of the world’s largest corporations in a complex environmental lawsuit under a “reverse contingency” fee arrangement – in which we did not get paid until (and unless) we won.  After a month-long trial in which the Plaintiff sought almost $20 million, the jury returned a defense verdict for our client.  Only then did we get paid.
