Yvonne Jorgensen

Biography

With over 35 years of practice, I have a wide variety of experiences to draw on when counseling clients. Over my career, I have focused on litigation, and through that work I built relationships with many clients whom I now act as general counsel for on a range of issues from contract review, pre-litigation business disputes, to issues arising in the midst of a construction project. I also handle premises and security guard liability claims for numerous event venues. My trial experience includes being lead trial counsel in numerous jury trials. In 2014-2015, I was the lead trial counsel in a complex 98 day bench trial, which resulted in a favorable outcome for my architect client. In 2016, I participated in a binding arbitration in which we successfully obtained specific performance of a sale of a motel in San Francisco, after the seller attempted to back out of the deal. From 2017 to 2019, I obtained a defense verdict for our clients in 3 separate jury trials. In 2021, my client prevailed in a jury trial involving a failure to disclose in a real estate purchase action. While I am an accomplished trial attorney, the best result for a client is often a reasonable settlement. The fact that very few of my cases go to trial is evidence of effective settlement negotiation.
