Founded in 1987 by Jerry Coughlan, Robert F. Semmer and Michael L. Lipman, the firm has represented clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to sole proprietors and individuals.

Earll Pott secures reduced charge and probation for client wrongfully accused of murder.

In People v. Eric House, et. al., a case that has garnered national attention, Mr. Pott successfully argued for dismissal of gang allegations at the preliminary hearing and then negotiated a plea bargain permitting his client to plead guilty to aiding and abetting involuntary manslaughter. At sentencing, despite a prosecution recommendation for four years prison, the court granted probation, sentencing the client to seven months in local jail. Mr. Pott is presently defending the client and his mother in a civil wrongful death action.
