Firm Overview

We provide a wide range of transactional, mediation and litigation services throughout the State of California.

Established in 1994 by Michael Lonich and David Patton, Lonich & Patton, LLP has developed into one of the most respected firms in Northern California. We specialize in three complementary practice areas: Family Law, Estate Planning and Business Law. Our attorneys take a genuine interest in our clients' needs, take the time to understand their objectives and provide strong representation in a timely, effective and efficient manner.

What sets Lonich & Patton, LLP apart? At Lonich & Patton, we are a true litigation firm with the resources and training to bring about positive results at trial when a settlement cannot be reached. We draw upon that experience when addressing client needs in Family Law, Estate Planning and Business matters.

A client often needs support in more than one discipline. For example, a Family Law client may need the help of one of our business lawyers to deal with a complex business issue raised in a divorce, or an Estate Planning client may have property issues related to their business interests or family dynamics and need to consult with one of our Family Law attorneys. Every divorce client should review their beneficiary designations and estate plan with our Estate attorneys. Our Family Law attorneys frequently provide input to our Estate Planning clients to avoid complicated future asset and property issues. Our business attorneys not only provide the necessary support to our corporate clients, they also provide resources for business succession with our Estate Planning group.

We appreciate your visit to Lonich & Patton, LLP and invite you to explore and learn how we may best serve you.
