Tyson & Mendes is growing our Northern California team , and we are looking for an experienced attorney with a strong background in landlord tenant and habitability litigation who is ready for meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to continue developing as a trial lawyer.

Work With Experienced Litigators Our Northern California team includes accomplished trial attorneys who are serious about their cases without taking themselves too seriously. This is a collaborative environment where attorneys share ideas, resources, and experience. Our leaders are busy practicing attorneys, so they are not interested in micromanaging experienced lawyers. They are, however, responsive and available when you seek input, want to talk strategy, or need another perspective. You will have autonomy, but you will not practice in isolation.
