Randall C. Sterling - San Diego, CA

Overview

Mr. Sterling is a seasoned trial attorney with more than thirty-five years' experience. Notwithstanding his proven ability to successfully argue his client’s case to a judge or jury, litigation is not always the best way to resolve a legal dispute. Sometimes, a more pragmatic approach to a legal matter can get faster results in less time and at reduced cost.

Mr. Sterling graduated summa cum laude and class Valedictorian from Pepperdine University in 1979 with his Bachelor's of Science Degree in Business Administration.

From there, Mr. Sterling went to work as the Secretary and General Manager of a construction company in North County. During his tenure there, he obtained his Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from National University in 1985, as part of a joint degree program where he thereafter obtained his Juris Doctorate degree (JD) in 1988.

Starting his legal employment with a small, boutique law firm, Asaro & Keagy, in San Diego, Mr. Sterling specialized in construction defect litigation. From there, he joined the much larger firm of Higgs, Fletcher & Mack where he practiced in a variety areas, including land use and general civil litigation.

In 1996, Mr. Sterling established his own practice where he uses his legal experience, combined with his years of practical business experience, to represent a wide array of clients, both individual and corporate. He was featured in California Lawyer magazine (June, 2003) in an article called Double Duty while covering for a colleague called to active duty in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
