| Simas & Hutchison, Ltd. practices in the following areas of law:
Government and Administrative Law consisting of Healthcare Regulation, Workplace and Employment Regulation, Professional Licensing and Regulation, Public Agency Law, Public Contracts Law and Civil Litigation and Appeals. | | Year Established: 2002 | Firm Profile:
Simas & Hutchison, Ltd. ("S & H") traces its history to March, 2002, when its predecessor was founded in Sacramento to serve the needs of clients in matters involving government regulation. As one of the government's most highly-regulated areas of the law, the firm built its foundation upon advising and representing employers. As "counselors," our goal is to advise our clients regarding compliance with federal and state labor and employment laws. As "attorneys," our goal is to represent and advocate for our clients who become involved in either administrative litigation with the government or civil litigation.With the firm's growing expertise in dealing with regulatory matters, the firm quickly expanded into other areas of Government and Administrative law such as Healthcare Regulation, Professional Licensing and Regulation, Public Agency Law and Public Contracts Law. The firm now maintains offices in downtown Sacramento and in San Luis Obispo to better serve our clients throughout the State of California.The Firm's Mission:The mission of Simas & Hutchison, Ltd. is to provide effective, ethical advocacy, advice and representation to individuals, businesses and other clients whose operations and day-to-day business are heavily regulated by the state and federal governments. Simas & Hutchison, Ltd. strives to provide these services with the ultimate needs of client in mind and by effectively communicating with client representatives regarding status, costs and possible impact on client business operations.Client Service:As a boutique law firm, SHM has assembled a team of talented attorneys to focus on the needs of clients. As most of our lawyers have worked for large law firms, large companies or the government, we recognize the need to provide thorough, efficient and excellent legal services without having to support a huge overhead (and corresponding hourly rates). With the help of our legal support staff and Of Counsel and associate attorneys, S & H focuses on resolving our client's case or matter, not overstaffing or over-billing. | | Firm Size: 6 | Office Hours:
