Mendez & Sanchez APC

Friends since high school, Giancarlo and Michael took different paths in college, only to end up together again at Whittier Law School where they both received their Juris Doctorate. When they decided to become partners and open their own law firm, they knew, as young lawyers looking to leave a positive mark on the world, they would have to go above and beyond for their clients.

Their early cases involved cross country trips, late nights, and stepping into courtrooms with attorneys who had been practicing law longer than they had been alive.  This experience and early success showed them just what an amazing team they were together.  Since those early days, Giancarlo and Michael have built a reputation in their community as the team that will take the difficult cases and get their client the compensation they deserve, a team that clients feel comfortable referring because of their hard work, and most importantly, a team that does whatever it takes to win for their clients.
