San Diego Trial Lawyers

Fitzgerald Knaier LLP is a law firm of highly experienced trial attorneys committed to aggressive, honest advocacy. We are a San Diego boutique litigation firm, focused exclusively on trying cases and handling controversies for our clients. Although our practice is limited to trial and litigation matters, we have a broad body of experience with a wide range of cases and areas of law.

We represent both plaintiffs and defendants, and we advocate for corporate entities as well as individuals. Our lawyers have represented some of the most sophisticated clients in the business world. We have also championed the causes of vulnerable individuals who have been wronged by powerful corporate and government interests. Whatever the particular matter, our overriding commitment is to represent all of our clients vigorously and thoughtfully, with civility, integrity and professionalism.

• Our attorneys have been recognized as "top attorneys" by numerous professional rating publications and professional organizations.


• We have tried many cases to verdict, before judges and juries, in state and federal courts throughout the country.


• We have practiced at and alongside some of the finest large law firms in the country, but we have the entrepreneurial flexibility to structure creative fee arrangements for clients of all sizes.


• Fitzgerald Knaier LLP understands that trial advocacy is an art, and we focus constantly on honing the skills needed to champion our clients' claims.

We love to win, and we work hard to do it. But we put our clients' interests first by striving to deliver value along with victory. We fight hard, but we fight smart: we do not employ "scorched earth" litigation tactics, and we do not use the litigation process to impose unnecessary burdens on the courts or our adversaries. We don't waste our clients' money fighting for the sake of fighting. Instead, we believe in tactical, strategic, cost-effective litigation strategies.
