Law Firm Overview

Vivian C. Carlson is a graduate of U.C.L.A and Southwestern University School of Law. She has practiced law in the Bay Area of Northern California for over twenty years. She brings a unique blend of experience and dedication to her field.

Her philosophy is to settle a case by whatever means necessary, whether by non-adversarial methods, such as mediation, or by taking a case to trial before a Superior Court judge. She has litigated hundreds of cases and does not shrink from the specter of going to court to fight for her client's rights. She is assertive when necessary, and sensitive to the needs and wishes of her clients.

Vivian Carlson handles all cases directly, without delegating your matters to junior associates or paralegals. She will guide and counsel you, help you understand your choices, and work for the best result possible.
