About The Yoshida Firm
David Yoshida has spent 15 years turning business disputes, trust & estate battles, and real estate conflicts into victories, earning loyalty from clients for his straightforward and strategic style. He is also one of the few equine & animal law experts in the state, having handled numerous disputes involving elite sport horses.
He believes that attorneys should solve problems, not extend them. His approach to litigation strips away unnecessary billable hours in favor of direct and aggressive action. Although he is always prepared for trial at the state and federal level, he will seek to resolve problems before they drain needless resources and time.
He honed his litigation skills at prestigious law firms, most recently at the century-old Lagerlof LLP where he managed their toughest cases and largest litigation clients. He began his career in 2010 at one of California’s premier complex litigation firms, Bartko Pavia, where he worked on bet-the-company litigation. He then developed his transactional skills working on cross-border mergers & acquisitions and commercial land use projects at Hoge Fenton, a storied Silicon Valley firm. He then sharpened his litigation and trial skills under the tutelage of an elite trial attorney at Catanese & Wells, where he learned about equine law.

“I was involved in a very contentious situation involving a family business and trust. David came highly recommended. After a very short time, I could see why. I was immediately comfortable that he not only had the case figured out, but I felt heard and understood. It was the first time any attorney made me feel like I could relax, and it was handled. He did his research, had a remarkable understanding of all the players, kept me informed, was always available to speak to, and he, of course, won my case. He put the opposing attorney to shame. I can’t say enough good things about my experience.”- Angela B.
