Overview
Arredondo Law handles civil litigation from the first assessment of a claim through trial and appeal, in state and federal courts. Every stage is approached with the same goal: giving clients clear information about their exposure and the strongest possible position, whether a matter resolves early or goes to verdict.
Public Entity Defense
Public agencies face legal risks that private employers don't, along with a separate set of rules, immunities, and procedures that govern how claims against them are handled. At Arredondo Law, we defend public entities and their officials and employees with the insight of someone who has worked inside local government.
Tort and Liability Defense
We defend public entities against personal injury and property damage claims, including:
- Dangerous condition of public property claims
- Vehicle accidents involving public employees and agency vehicles
- Premises liability and trip-and-fall claims
- Claims arising from parks, roads, sidewalks, and public facilities
We use the defenses available under the Government Claims Act, including claim presentation requirements, statutory immunities, and design immunity, to resolve claims early whenever possible.

What a Criminal and Civil Litigation Background Adds
Years of trial work mean evidence is evaluated the way a jury will see it. A strong habit of building cases from the ground up translates into early, accurate risk assessment.
