About

Larry began practicing law in California in 1982, initially with Cummins & White and subsequently with McDermott Will & Emery. Tom began his legal career in 1986.

The firm was founded on the belief that clients benefit from experienced lawyers who take personal responsibility for their matters, prepare thoroughly, and provide candid advice.

Over more than three decades, Nokes & Quinn has maintained a substantial civil litigation practice involving real estate, construction, insurance, business, and land use disputes.

The firm's work has included jury trials, court trials, arbitrations, appellate proceedings, and contested administrative hearings.

Our approach combines careful preparation and effective advocacy with an appreciation of the practical and economic consequences of litigation.

We recognize that every case presents uncertainty. Our responsibility is to help clients understand the strengths and weaknesses of their positions, evaluate their options, and pursue a strategy that serves their interests.

Nokes & Quinn remains committed to the professional values on which it was established: preparation, integrity, sound judgment, and personal responsibility to our clients.
