State Bar of California. Hill & Sandford is an aggressive, trial-oriented civil and business litigation group engaged in both Federal and State Court practice throughout California. Committed to the concept of cost effective litigation, the group believes that success is measured by the Netto benefit conferred to its clients.
Both strategy and tactics are directed from the outset by experienced trial counsel and implemented through the use of a small, cohesive litigation team with the use of outside experts in specialized areas of substantive law as necessary.
This approach has resulted in a substantial number of both court and jury trial victories over the past decade in fields such as lender liability, breach of fiduciary duty, securities fraud, real estate fraud, business torts, unfair trade practices, breach of partnership agreements and breach of corporate duties.
