When
Fred Borton established his law practice in 1899, the 25th U.S.
President William McKinley was in office, the Spanish-American War had
just ended the year before, and a gallon of milk cost 27 cents. Many of
today's areas of practice did not exist. There were no class-action
lawsuits nor were there toxic mold cases. There were no automobiles in
the streets nor airplanes in the sky. Televisions, movie theaters, cells
phones, desktop computers and the modern technological age were
unimaginable. In fact, Fred Borton's mode of transportation was a horse.
James Petrini joined the Firm shortly after Fred Borton formed the
business. Together, they forged a name for the Firm. Harry M. Conron
joined the Firm in 1932. The three original partners formed a strong
alliance of legal talent that would become one of California's
leading law firms with 10 strategically placed 
offices
throughout California, from Sacramento to San Diego. This growth,
from a small local firm to a statewide entity, is the product of
expertise and scholarship.
Borton Petrini, LLP holds an effective understanding of California, its people
and its law. Throughout the 20th Century, the Firm's partners became noted
judges and justices within the California court system. Many of the Firm's
attorneys have helped to shape California law through precedent-setting cases.
Borton Petrini, LLP has participated in the evolution of 
business practices, land use, estate and tax planning, water law, employment
law, public entity, professional liability, environmental and health care law,
to name a few.
In the 21st Century, the world has changed dramatically and so has the Firm.
Yet, as in the beginning, you will find that our attorneys combine a blend of
specialized knowledge and diverse experience.
