Insurance and Business Litigation Law Firm

When you need an attorney, choosing the right law firm is the most important decision you will make. We founded McKennon|Schindler LLP for one purpose: to provide our clients targeted, effective representation geared to get the best possible results. Our single-minded focus is to achieve our clients’ objectives in an aggressive yet professional manner.

We are counted among California’s leading insurance, business, and consumer trial attorneys. We have arbitrated, tried, appealed, and resolved hundreds of disputes on all lines of insurance—life, health, disability, property/casualty, commercial general liability, professional liability, officers and directors liability, employment practices liability, homeowners and business owners property and liability, specialty risks, excess, umbrella, and reinsurance. We have also made a name for ourselves in disputes involving ERISA/Employee benefits, employment, construction defect, insurance and real estate agent/broker liability, trademarks and copyrights, class actions, serious injury and wrongful death, and other consumer and general business matters, recovering millions of dollars in judgments and settlements for our clients.

Our attorneys are nationally recognized experts in insurance and ERISA/Employee benefit litigation, and are frequent authors and speakers at national and local conferences on these topics.

Most of our consumer litigation cases, and many of our business litigation cases, are taken on a contingency fee basis, which means that you pay nothing, and we recover nothing, unless we win your case by way of judgment or settlement.

We welcome referrals from the legal community, and honor referral fee commitments in keeping with the rules of professional conduct.
