A Practice Built On Experience, Intelligence And Integrity
Needing a lawyer is like needing a surgeon – you wish you didn’t. But when you are in need, you want someone with three key traits: experience, intelligence and integrity. Experience because it takes time to get good at something complicated. Intelligence because every case presents unique challenges. Integrity because you’re putting yourself in someone else’s hands, and you need to feel comfortable.


Experienced Attorneys With A Track Record Of Success
For more than a decade, attorneys Michael A. Schaps and Rachel Vida have successfully represented clients in a wide range of civil trial and appellate matters. Mr. Schaps received bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Stanford and a law degree from U.C. Berkeley, where he finished near the top of his class. He then served as a law clerk to federal trial and appellate judges, and then spent five years litigating complex cases in a big-firm setting. Ms. Vida received her law degree from U.C. Davis, where she graduated near the top of her class, Order of the Coif. At U.C. Davis, Ms. Vida served as an editor on the Law Review and received numerous honors, including the Patrick J. Hopkins Memorial Award for Legal Scholarship.
Building on this foundation, attorneys Schaps and Vida achieve great results for clients by cutting to the central issues in a case, identifying the best arguments, and advocating with force and skill.
