About

Provided by Greines, Martin, Stein & Richland LLP

Ever since its founding in 1983, the firm has been one of California’s premier civil appellate boutiques. From its base of practice in the California state and federal appellate courts, in recent years the firm has forged a potent United States Supreme Court practice: since 2006, it has won six of the seven cases it has briefed and argued in the high court. The firm is counsel of record in over 450 published decisions and in many more hundreds of unpublished decisions and it has acted as amicus counsel in many additional appellate matters.

The firm also frequently consults with trial lawyers so as to ensure that their cases are well positioned for a potential appeal. Through its appellate practice, the firm has developed substantive expertise in many areas, including constitutional law, civil rights, governmental torts and immunities, personal injury, insurance coverage and bad faith, complex business disputes, business torts, copyright, unfair competition, antitrust, real estate, entertainment law, environmental law, employment law, maritime law, family law, bankruptcy, professional malpractice, arbitration, lemon law, and probate. The firm’s clientele includes national banks and other major national companies; major liability, casualty and title insurance companies; state and local governments; hospitals; public and private universities; entertainment industry companies and individuals; and lawyers.
