About Our Firm

What sets us apart:
We approach each client situation with a view toward finding proactive and comprehensive solutions that achieve client goals and that maximize opportunities for a positive financial result. Then, we fight for a positive outcome for our clients to the end.

The leaders of our firm come from large, national law practices and the government and have many decades of legal experience in these practice areas: Environmental Risks, Insurance Coverage,and Securities Brokerage Issues, plus leading edge experience in Sustainable
Energy.

Our clients enjoy personal service and benefit from the productive relationships that exist among our attorneys and supporting personnel throughout all our offices. Our scale allows us to assemble the best teams for each matter using staff from across our offices, co-counsel and local counsel. This is a particular advantage in the many multi-state matters that we handle. Through our attention to planning and communication, we are highly effective in working across offices and together with other firms.

From offices in Lafayette, California in the San Francisco Bay Area, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Indianapolis, Indiana we serve client needs across the country.

How we work:
According to Philip Hunsucker, founding shareholder, “Although the firm does both defense and plaintiff work, it has a plaintiff’s mentality, which requires a strategic plan and a singular focus on what is most important to achieve client goals.” Hunsucker Goodstein & Nelson PC attorneys develop a strategic plan very early in our representation of clients. We use creative approaches to litigation, alternative dispute resolution and regulatory matters. Throughout our representation, we continue to look for ways to achieve resolution for clients.

Hunsucker Goodstein & Nelson PC treats clients like partners. We regularly structure fee agreements in which we share risks and rewards with clients. Our attorneys actively seek and perfect outside sources of funds such as insurance, contribution claims or indemnity claims as a source of funding for solutions to clients’ problems.

Established relationships with a national network of clients, law firms and consulting firms enhance our ability to work towards clients’ goals. This approach, bringing together outstanding teams of highly skilled professionals, has proven successful and rewarding to clients.

We conduct our work in an atmosphere that supports collegial relationships, between firm members, our clients and with other organizations. The result: spirited teamwork dedicated to pursuing over–the–top results for our clients.
