Santa Barbara Real Estate Law Firm
Overview
Experienced California Litigation Law Firm
Michael P. Ring & Associates is a successful law firm serving the nation from law offices in Santa Barbara, California. We practice law the old fashioned way; by putting the client first. Our attorneys and support staff understand the importance of staying in frequent communication with our clients, and we are always willing to provide up-to-the-minute information on the status of our clients' legal matters.
We have the experience and resources to take on almost any type of litigation, against any opponent. In the past, our attorneys have taken on large multi-national corporations, including Chevron, Computer Associates, General Motors, and Merrill Lynch. Though it is difficult to divide our work into categories, a partial list of the types of cases we take would be:
- Employment law
- Wrongful discharge
- Construction law
- Real estate
- Personal injury
- Business litigation
- Business contracts and formation
- Securities fraud and other securities law matters
- Elder abuse
Our lawyers offer clients quality legal representation based on more than 50 combined years of practice investigating and preparing cases to be tried in all venues. We have appeared before tribunals in state and federal trial courts, arbitration panels and before administrative law judges including the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Pacific Stock Exchange (PSE), and various other exchanges.
We have represented our clients not only in trial courts, but have presented briefs and argued their cases to the appellate courts within the state of California and within the federal court system. Some of our published decisions are listed below.
Taylorv. Lockheed Martin Corp., 113 Cal. App. 4th 380 (2 nd App. Dist. 2003)
Visueta v. General Motors Corp., 234 Cal. App. 3 rd 1609 (2 nd App. Dist. 1991)
In re Price, 871 F.2d 97 (9 th Cir. 1989)
Because of our past results, we have achieved a reputation that has lead us to take many cases from other lawyers who have started a matter only to find the case a little more complicated or difficult than usual. Our clients have been on both sides of the issues, as we have found ourselves representing not only employees from many industries, but also both small and large companies in everything from drafting buy-sell agreements and to wrongful discharge litigation and other employment law matters.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level
- - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials
- - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
