Farbstein & Blackman APC, centrally located in San Mateo, California, provides skilled representation to clients in the areas of professional liability, employment law, business litigation, personal injury litigation, estate planning services, mediation and arbitration of civil disputes. Founded in 1978, the firm's shareholders are recognized by their peers as preeminent lawyers, with substantial trial and arbitration expertise. Much of the firm's work comes from referrals by other attorneys. Central to our success is our emphasis on insightful and practical case planning. We work closely with our clients to develop a case strategy, based upon our evaluation of the case and the demands of the situation. We stress the need for a simple, compelling presentation, despite complex facts and law. Because we are rooted in the needs of our clients and the community that surrounds us, we have been called upon to represent individuals and businesses alike. This work includes business and employment litigation for start up technology ventures, public companies, nonprofit agencies, and small businesses.We equally value the work done for individuals, particularly those finding themselves in a time of crisis by reason of a catastrophic injury, or wrongful death of a loved one. We have also risen to the challenge of professional liability concerns, both for plaintiffs and defendants, involving lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, home inspectors, and others.
