Our legal team

MVJ’s mission is to provide our clients with a high-quality, vigorous defense, while providing sound and practical advice, within a collaborative setting where a partner is directly involved in each case.

A few years ago, we made the decision to open MVJ with a focus on representing clients in matters of employment law, appellate law, and public entity defense. We had previously worked together for 17 years, defending clients in various civil litigation matters. During that time, we honed our practice areas and realized our collective vision for how we could and would provide competent, thoughtful, and effective representation for our clients in these areas.

With this vision in mind, we have committed ourselves to providing a high-quality, vigorous defense for our clients whereby:

  • We listen to our clients to understand their interests and desired outcomes.
  • We advise clients on the strengths and weaknesses of their cases.
  • We keep our clients updated on the status of litigation.
  • We keep current on changes in the law. 
  • We incorporate software that enhances our research capabilities, our efficiency, and our ability to share confidential information.
  • We provide strong research, writing, and oral advocacy skills.
  • We serve as effective negotiators.
  • We work diligently to defend our clients throughout the litigation process.

We are here to help protect your interests.
