About Us

Griffith & Thornburgh, LLP is the oldest law firm in Santa Barbara. We represent clients on a broad range of different matters that include most areas of the law. The depth of our experience, legal acumen, and courtroom skills is recognized by other attorneys and judges alike.

The firm holds the ranking of Preeminent by Martindale Hubbell, the gold standard in attorney peer review rankings, a recognition only awarded to approximately five percent of law firms.

About us

We are a mid-size ten attorney firm, working from the same downtown Santa Barbara offices, only a block away from the courthouse, where we have been located for many years. Our attorneys pride themselves on the quality of our legal work and have dedicated themselves to providing a high level of personal service to each of our clients. Working together in person, not remotely, allows us to more efficiently operate as a team, including with our professional staff, in addressing client issues.

Most of our work is referral based, resulting from the reputation we have built over many years. The advice we provide to our clients is based upon our commitment to serving the client’s best interest in achieving beneficial solutions. That advice is backed by the broad and varied experience of our attorneys in and out of the courtroom.

Further burnishing the reputation of the firm, is our long tradition of service on leading nonprofit community organizations, school boards and professional organizations.
