We Have Recovered Over Two Billion Dollars On Behalf Of Our Clients
We are one of the first San Diego contingency fee law firms to recover more than two billion dollars in settlements and verdicts for our clients. That alone has brought us acclaim and worldwide attention. However, what our peers have to say about us is just as important.
During their first decade, U.S. News & World Report along with Best Lawyers in America have selected Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire for their Best Law Firms in America list and rated us a San Diego Tier One Law Firm in categories ranging from personal injury to eminent domain, mass tort litigation to medical malpractice, and commercial litigation to sex abuse litigation and more.
It’s an honor to be recognized in any one of these categories of law, but to earn a Best Lawyer Tier One Law Firm ranking in as many as seven categories every year is an astonishing tribute to the breadth of our practice and the depth of talent at our firm.
Whether you need help pursuing an injury claim or settling a business dispute, you can count on our team to have the resources, knowledge and capabilities to maximize the outcome of your case. With over 40 years of experience, we are dedicated to making lives better.

Why Hire A Team Like Thorsnes Bartolotta McGuire?
- We are passionate and skilled litigators – We have been at the forefront of unprecedented verdicts and settlements that not only forever improved the lives of our clients, but also the legal landscape in California. That’s why we have earned 28 Outstanding Trial Lawyer Awards over the years and have partners who, every year for a decade, have been recognized for various other honors, including “Lawyer of the Year” by U.S. News and World Report and Best Lawyers, Best of the Bar Award from the San Diego Business Journal, One of the 100 Most Influential Lawyers in California by the Los Angeles Daily Journal and more.
- We care about our local and global community – We give back to the community at every opportunity, whether it be working pro bono on behalf of local disaster victims or spending weekends helping feed and find housing for the homeless. We truly care not only about our clients, but also for everyone who needs a voice to put a name on their suffering.
- We are well-respected for our trial work – With numerous accolades and awards, we are proud to be well-known in San Diego and nationally as fighters who go the extra mile to help clients obtain justice.
- We are also business people – We are primarily a contingency fee firm, and as a business person, you have probably never considered hiring a contingency fee firm to litigate a business dispute. So, we ask you this question: “Is it better for my stockholders if a third party takes on the financial risks of a lawsuit?” Would you rather have a team that has skin in the game or someone who gets paid win or lose? We are open to discussing alternative fee arrangements, including hybrid fees, hourly fees, contingency fees and flat rate agreements.
We have the experience where it counts – Each of us has spent countless hours in the courtroom, lecturing at law schools and coaching and mentoring the next generation of legal talent. We have experience that is simply unmatched by any other legal team in the area.

What Can We Help You With?
We Know What Hard Work Means
Our attorneys have had drive and determination since their earliest years. They delivered newspapers. They managed restaurant kitchens and unloaded grocery trucks. Little did we know how far their hard work would truly take us.
Since 1978, we have helped family businesses grow from small one-man operations into companies with one billion dollars in annual sales. We have fought insurance companies on behalf of widowers who lost their loved ones in car crashes. We have recovered millions on behalf of the families of 9/11 victims. We work zealously to improve our clients’ lives, and we will continue to fight for them until the end.
