Firm Profile
Fell, Marking, Abkin, Montgomery,
Granet & Raney, LLP, a California Limited Liability Partnership, was
founded in 1977, when Doug Fell, Joe Abkin and Rick Montgomery
left the firm of Schramm, Raddue & Seed to create a new Firm with Phil Marking (who had also previously been at
Schramm, Raddue & Seed). The objective of the Firm has always been to
produce the highest quality work product - to equal or better the work
product of the “big firms”- while maintaining the relatively small size
of the Firm and its associated benefits. The primary tactic to achieve
this objective has been hard work by all of the attorneys in the Firm -
day in and day out. The Firm has a reputation of being highly responsive
to the needs of its clients and for producing high quality work. A key
advantage of the relatively small size of the Firm is that the client has
the benefit of working directly with the individual attorney whom the
client retains. Also, the Firm is organized in a manner that eliminates
any intra-Firm competition and, therefore, the attorney who is most
qualified to handle the particular task will readily assist the client’s
general attorney. All of the attorneys in the Firm have strong academic
backgrounds and training.
There are presently 15 attorneys
in the Firm. Internally, the Firm is organized generally into three
practice areas: (i) Business, Real Estate, and Technology; (ii)
Litigation; and (iii) Estate Planning and Administration. The Firm represents
clients throughout the world in a wide range of areas, including complex
business and real estate transactions, estate planning and
administration, dispute resolution and litigation, trade association law,
technology and e-commerce transactions, taxation, environmental law,
eminent domain, land use and development, mergers and acquisitions and
financing transactions.
