Sr. Associate Attorney, Laura E. Ferret, was included in Super Lawyers Rising Star list for 2023 for her efforts in Civil Litigation and Real Estate.

Environmental Attorney, Meghan Dunnagan, whom, I think is the finest attorney in California, was included for the second year in a row, in Sacramento Magazine’s 2023 Top Lawyer list as a Land Use/Zoning attorney. Meghan’s experience in land use over the last 19 years is nothing short of remarkable. She has been involved in some of the largest master planned residential development projects in the Sacramento region and the state of California.

Keith Dunnagan, for the sixth year in a row was included in Super Lawyers list for 2023 as a Real Estate attorney and for the fifth time in six years was also included in Sacramento Magazine’s 2023 Top Lawyer list as a business and corporate attorney. Many of you know Keith from the blog articles he writes and the seminars he presents at various Realtor Associations and Healthcare/Dental events. For those of you that have worked with Keith, you know that the key to his success is the ability to see past hurdles in the transaction and find practical business solutions for his clients, whether it be a loan workout or an acquisition of a multi-million dollar business asset. We congratulate Keith on these selections. In addition to his work in California, Keith regularly assists clients outside of California as he is admitted to the Washington State and Nevada Bars as well.

Again, we are incredibly humbled for the support our clients, peers, and community have shown us over the years and we look forward to many more years of providing efficient, innovative and effective legal services to the people and businesses of the Sacramento metro region, California, Nevada and Washington State.
