Pfeifer & Reynolds LLP - Attorneys at Law

Pfeifer & Reynolds, LLP is an "AV" rated law firm dedicated to providing superior representation to a wide variety of clients on matters involving the financial services industry. Although our practice is concentrated in Southern California, we represent a national clientele of institutional, corporate, and individual lenders, investors, servicers, trustees, brokers, insurers and related service providers on a broad array of litigation and transactional matters. These include all aspects of commercial and business lending, mortgage banking, and consumer finance litigation, defense of lender liability and class action claims, fraud recovery and loan repurchase disputes, bankruptcy representation of both secured and unsecured creditors (including adversary proceedings litigation), officers’ and directors’ liability and professional errors and omissions litigation, and state and federal regulatory compliance and licensing matters.

OUR MISSION IS BASIC

Unlike giant “mega-firms,” who may try to be all things to all people, we have focused on acquiring a unique depth of understanding regarding the needs and problems of the financial services industry. Our mission is basic: We recover money to which our clients are entitled; obtain the return of, or foreclose upon, collateral; vigorously prosecute and defend our clients' interests in litigation; and provide the know-how and drafting skills to transform operational and transactional objectives into legal reality.

CLIENT/ATTORNEY PARTNERSHIP

 The amount at issue may be large or small. The solution may be in doing it the “easy way” or, when necessary, the “hard way.” But the point is always the same: to reach the client's stated goal as quickly as possible at the lowest reasonable cost. Whether the plan requires a low-budget approach, or a highly sophisticated “all-out” attack involving the most complex legal issues, we understand financial services and have the resources to do the job. EXPERIENCE AND FOCUS

Each of our senior attorneys has over two decades of “hands-on” experience representing clients in the financial services industry. All are former partners of large firms, or members of in-house counsel staff for financial institutions or government regulatory agencies. Accomplished authors and lecturers, our attorneys regularly publish articles on legal issues affecting the financial services industry, and are frequent speakers at industry conventions and seminars, as well as special in-house education programs we offer to meet our clients' individual needs.

We recover money to which our clients are entitled; obtain the return of, or foreclose upon, collateral; vigorously prosecute and defend our clients' interests in litigation; and provide the know-how and drafting skills to transform operational and transactional objectives into legal reality.

INFORMATION RESOURCES

We maintain several proprietary computerized databases and form files reflecting the latest developments in lender liability, loan fraud recovery, bankruptcy, litigation, and regulatory compliance. We also utilize sophisticated litigation management and trial presentation software technologies to maximize efficiency and present our clients’ cases with clarity and persuasive power.  This reservoir of knowledge, technology and expertise flows to and from our clients, with whom we strive to develop long-term relationships and close communication. It also benefits our clients' legal budgets because we do not need to use your cases to train inexperienced attorneys or “reinvent the wheel.”

 

CREATIVITY COUNTS

There was a time when legal issues in the financial services industry were relatively simple and straightforward. Times have definitely changed. The evolution of securitization, bankruptcy, and consumer protection laws, as well as judicial and regulatory activism, plus the impact of powerful new technologies, have all brought an urgency to the need for first-rate and cost-effective legal representation. Often this requires an innovative approach. We stress creative analysis and practical, cost-benefit solutions. This is reflected in our professional accomplishments and client retention. At Pfeifer & Reynolds, LLP, we take a fresh look at problems and go for results.

 

THE FINAL WORD

We demand of ourselves the highest standards of excellence. That is what our clients expect and what real service is all about. Our clients are most precious to us and deserve nothing less!
