The D’Amato Law Way
D’Amato Law was formed to provide high quality legal services with the goal of minimizing constraints that can slow the legal process, raise the price of litigation, and overly burden stakeholders. D’Amato Law employs smart, secure technology to provide team members and clients access to the tools and data needed to solve legal disputes in a modern, mobile, and complex landscape. By making efficient use of resources and increasing access to professional advice, D’Amato Law produces reliably superior results for its diverse client base.
We are a local firm with statewide reach. Battle tested, the D’Amato Law team has litigated and resolved disputes throughout the State of California, in more than three-quarters of the fifty-eight county state courts, every federal district, and in the courts of appeal.
D’Amato Law leverages the benefits of big law with the flexibility and personal service of a smaller team providing you with representation tailored to your specific needs.
Born, Trained, and Focused in California
A lifelong Californian, Tom's understanding of the state's legal landscape runs deep. After earning his undergraduate degree from the University of California, San Diego, and his law degree from the University of California Law San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings), he built his practice into a trusted resource for California attorneys facing ethical challenges and California businesses that need a seasoned litigator.
Tom’s experience spans nearly all courts across California, making him one of the state's most well-versed ethics attorneys.
Our Core Values
-
D’Amato Law is deeply familiar with the high standards to which lawyers are held. We leverage our extensive knowledge and experience in the law of lawyering and law practice management to deliver to each client the highest standards of professional work product and advice.
-
We believe that sound judgment is the essential bridge between legal expertise and successful outcomes. While any lawyer can cite the law, true advocacy requires the wisdom to assess risks objectively, navigate complex gray areas, and anticipate the long-term consequences decisions. By balancing rigorous critical thinking with ethical integrity, we provide our clients with more than just representation; we provide the strategic clarity needed to manage expectations, earn the respect of the court, and resolve disputes with efficiency. In an unpredictable legal landscape, expertise is the requirement, but sound judgment is the difference.
-
D'Amato Law has earned a sterling reputation in the legal community as trustworthy, honest, and ethical. When you are a D'Amato Law client, you can rest assured that we will ethically and loyally represent your interests and protect your reputation.
-
At D'Amato Law, we understand the business of law and that attorney fees and costs can be a burden. We work with each of our clients to formulate a budget that works for their assignment and then we manage litigation to the budget. Of course circumstances can and do change budgets; yet every action taken by the team at D’Amato Law has a purpose – to get your case efficiently resolved with the best outcomes possible.
Why clients love working with tom
“We’ve dealt with lawyers in the past, and Tom’s one of the best—it’s not even close. Tom’s going to be our lawyer forever. Tom treated our case like his life depended on it and worked from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. He took one of California’s top lawyers and dismantled him. This lawyer retired during our case. Tom is disarmingly affable; opponents may take him less seriously than they should, but he is airtight in the trial.”
