Pursuing excellence in defense litigation.

The law firm of Acker & Whipple maintains a diverse litigation practice representing businesses, professional persons and governmental entities involved in most areas of civil litigation in California state and federal courts, with an emphasis upon defense of product liability, construction workplace accident, property damage, premises liability, and professional liability claims, and insurance coverage and securities broker dealer law.

The firm is rated AV, the highest rating for competence and integrity, by the Martindale-Hubbell Directory.


We are pleased to celebrate another trial victory. Shareholder Colette Magnetta recently defended a local auto dealer in a breach of contract and fraud case in a bench trial in a San Bernardino County Superior Court. The Court entered a defense verdict on all causes of action.

Acker & Whipple offers our sincere condolences to the friends and family of retired Judge William Huss, who died Wednesday, November 26, 2008. He established the firm nearly thirty years ago and has provided guidance and friendship to the firm's leadership through the years. We will miss him.
