The firm’s slogan, “Real. Trial. Lawyers.,” was created by
founding partner Mike Schonbuch, signifying that firm attorneys try
cases all the time. In fact, the experienced and respected
attorneys at SCHONBUCH HALLISSY LLP have tried hundreds of cases
before a jury, and are often retained at the eve of trial as
“parachute counsel” to handle the trial after settlement talks
break down. They excel in selecting the best jurors for a
particular case, and presenting testimony and evidence in a
powerful manner.
The firm also prides itself on supporting and promoting female
attorneys; three of their five equity partners are women. They are
members of the ASCDC Women in the Law Committee and the LACBA
President’s Advisory Committee on Women in the Legal Profession.
Two of the female equity partners, Erin Hallissy and Mary Fersch,
just completed the final jury trial of the prior firm before
becoming SCHONBUCH HALLISSY LLP, securing a hard-fought defense
verdict for their client.
The firm’s attorneys are among the most experienced, talented
and respected trial lawyers in California, and are always
responsive to their clients’ needs and goals. They are leaders and
members in every major bar organization in California and
nationwide, including the prestigious American College of Trial
Lawyers, American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), the Association
of Southern California Defense Counsel (ASCDC), Los Angeles County
Bar Association (LACBA), the International Association of Defense
Counsel (IADC), the Federation of Defense and Corporate Counsel
(FDCC), the ASCDC Women in the Law Committee, the LACBA President’s
Advisory Committee on Women in the Legal Profession, and the Jack
Daniels Trial School, founded by former partner, Jack Daniels.
Schonbuch has served as ABOTA President (2020-2021) and is the 2022
recipient of the Lee B. Wenzel ABOTA Civility Award.
With a rich history in California spanning decades, Schonbuch
Hallissy LLP began in 1982 as Daniels, Baratta & Fine LLP,
which became Daniels, Fine, Israel & Schonbuch LLP, and then
Daniels, Fine, Israel, Schonbuch & Lebovits LLP. The core group
of partners has remained the bedrock of the firm, with the shared
philosophy of vigorous representation combined with civility. They
are also committed to providing an equal opportunity platform for
lawyers and staff to thrive.
SCHONBUCH HALLISSY LLP is bringing on Laurie Julien, to act as
its Managing Director to shepherd the firm into the future. Julien
has over 30 years of experience as a high-stakes insurance coverage
and bad faith litigator.
