Civil Litigators Representing Your Family Since 1950

Personal injury attorneys — Couple and Lawyer in San Jose, CA
Since 1950 the Mezzetti name has been synonymous with protecting clients' rights through litigation on both the plaintiff and defense sides.
The Mezzetti Law Firm's protection often begins during contract negotiation in real estate, promotional, and other business transactions. The excitement over future profits can obscure the fine print or rush you unnecessarily. Real estate, sports agents, and publishers may be motivated by commission, and they may use "short-fuse" strategies to "seal the deal". It is helpful to have an advocate to spot these tactics and to determine the full monetary value of your rights.
Mezzetti Law Firm is pleased to announce that ROBERT L. MEZZETTI, SENIOR was the recipient of "THE 2014 SANTA CLARA COUNTY TRIAL LAWYERS ASSOCIATION JOHN J. GEORGE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN RECOGNITION OF A LIFETIME OF OUTSTANDING LEGAL ACHIEVEMENT."
Insurance policies also can be confusing and overwhelming. Unfortunately, many consumers do not realize until it is too late that they have unintended gaps in coverage. We can help you understand the nuances of your homeowners', auto collision, uninsured/underinsured motorist, or title insurance policies and, where necessary, assist in determining coverage.

Property owners all too often misunderstand their rights, or the rights of their adjoining owners. Disputes concerning property lines, trees, access, encroachments, and view obstructions can irreparably damage a neighborly relationship. Notices of eminent domain proceedings and other governmental development can jeopardize you, your investment, or your community if not handled correctly. Before taking action in any of these matters, it is advisable to consult an experienced attorney.

If litigation is unavoidable, your interests will best be served by an attorney who is comfortable in the courtroom, adequately staffed, and who is undeterred by a good fight.
