The practice of law can be complicated and all-encompassing. Aware Legal's lead attorney, David Cordeiro, is experienced in complex legal matters.  

In Mr. Cordeiro's twenty years' of legal experience, he has handled a broad range of legal matters (See "Attorneys" Section).

The Aware Legal team:

Mr. Cordeiro leads a team of contract attorneys who are effective negotiators and skilled litigators and work well together in a cohesive manner. The firm limits the number of cases it accepts, finding that selectivity advances the firm's commitment to excellence. Part of the Aware Legal  team approach is for the attorneys to meet regularly as a group to strategize on case management issues in order to keep the matter moving forward towards a successful resolution. Clients are not billed for attorney group strategy meetings; rather, the law firm uses these meetings as a valuable in-house tool for maintaining a high quality practice. We use our extensive experience to analyze your situation and develop solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our skills in untangling legal intricacies help protect our clients while we advocate assertively in their best interest. Throughout the representation, the attorneys perform an on-going cost/benefit analysis, keeping you apprised of the costs of litigation to enable you to continually maximize your resources and place you in a position to make reasoned decisions.

Staying Current:

Aware Legal's attorneys regularly attend continuing education seminars to stay abreast of new developments in the law. The firm also has technology in place to help the attorneys stay fully up-to-date on new California case law and strategies to handle your complex and critically important issues.

Skilled Advocacy:

Each attorney at Aware Legal is articulate, practical, knowledgeable, and ethical, and this combination makes a formidable force of attorneys. We understand the intricacies of the legal system. We have the talent to negotiate the results you deserve and the ability to obtain those results through legal advocacy when necessary.
