At California Law Partners, we combine sharp legal insight with a deep understanding of business dynamics. With offices in San Diego and San Francisco—and a Los Angeles location on the horizon—we serve individuals, entrepreneurs, and organizations with litigation, transactional, and pro bono services grounded in strategy and compassion.
Senior Attorney Gerard Pizarro brings over three decades of litigation experience in both state and federal courts. His current litigation counsel role for executive officers at Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American: CLDI) is a testament to the firm’s elite-level capability in complex business litigation with multiple defendants. Gerard previously led a landmark chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) case against Nike Golf Camps for a female minor golfer struck in the head, culminating in a hard-fought, successful settlement after seven years of litigation.
Our litigation work is about more than legal arguments—it’s about people. From high-profile injury cases to life-altering trauma recovery, we bring heart and grit to the courtroom. Gerard’s representation of Emma, a gunshot survivor, helped bring justice to a remarkable story now told in the indie film Blood on Canvas.
Whether it’s representing biotech executives or individuals facing uphill legal battles, our approach is anchored in diligence and results. We don’t just fight cases—we close them successfully, earning the trust of clients and the respect of the legal community.
Beyond the courtroom, we provide guidance in estate planning, asset protection, and wealth transfer. With a business-forward mindset, we help professionals and families protect what they’ve built and ensure their wishes are honored for generations to come.
