Practice
My Trial Lawyer Superpower in Real Estate & General Litigation
By Mary McNeill · · 4 min read
I bring a combination most Bay Area clients never find under one roof: California-licensed attorney and licensed real-estate broker, with over 17 years of litigation experience at elite firms including Quinn Emanuel. I have represented major clients including Google, JPMorgan Chase, and Samsung in high-stakes real-estate disputes.
Key qualifications
I graduated summa cum laude from UCLA and earned my J.D. from UC Hastings, also summa cum laude. I hold California State Bar No. 261500 and DRE Broker No. 01886009.
The broker-attorney advantage
Most real-estate agents are practicing law without a license, potentially exposing clients to significant risk. My trial-law background lets me:
- Draft and review contracts with litigation foresight
- Identify contract risks before closing
- Assess inspection reports with expert-level scrutiny
- Litigate disputes through verdict when necessary
Personal investment
As a Bay Area native and investor owning six single-family homes — plus a licensed designer and developer — I bring comprehensive real-estate expertise. My focus is protecting client value throughout the transaction, not just closing the deal.
