About Us

When Fred Borton established his law practice in 1899, the 25th U.S. President William McKinley was in office, the Spanish-American War had just ended the year before, and a gallon of milk cost 27 cents. Many of today's areas of practice did not exist. There were no class-action lawsuits nor were there toxic mold cases. There were no automobiles in the streets nor airplanes in the sky. Televisions, movie theaters, cell phones, desktop computers and the modern technological age were unimaginable. In fact, Fred Borton's mode of transportation was a horse.

James Petrini joined the Firm shortly after Fred Borton formed the business. Together, they forged a name for the Firm. Harry M. Conron joined the Firm in 1932. The three original partners formed a strong alliance of legal talent that would become one of California's leading law firms with 10 strategically placed offices throughout California, from Sacramento to San Diego. This growth, from a small local firm to a statewide entity, is the product of expertise and scholarship.

Borton Petrini, LLP holds an effective understanding of California, its people and its law. Throughout the 20th Century, the Firm's partners became noted judges and justices within the California court system. Many of the Firm's attorneys have helped to shape California law through precedent-setting cases. Borton Petrini, LLP has participated in the evolution of business practices, land use, estate and tax planning, water law, employment law, public entity, professional liability, intellectual property, environmental and health care law, to name a few.

In the 21st Century, times have changed dramatically and so has the Firm. Yet, as in the beginning, you will find that our attorneys combine a blend of specialized knowledge and diverse experience.

Not only is Dan an experienced trial attorney in the areas of public entity law and catastrophic injury cases, he has substantial expertise in the field of insurance coverage and bad faith insurance defense. He has prepared hundreds of insurance coverage opinions in the areas of commercial general liability and personal lines coverage. In addition, he has successfully litigated several insurance bad faith cases.
 
In the last 10 years of his practice, Mr. Ferguson has developed a subspecialty expertise in handling labor and employment law cases, which include wrongful termination cases, wage and hour cases before the Labor Commissioner, as well as discrimination and sexual harassment cases. Presently about 50% of Dan’s practice is devoted to labor and employment cases.
 
Another current focus of Mr. Ferguson's practice is general business law and commercial litigation. He serves as general counsel for several business owners and litigates contract cases, commercial lease cases, cases involving the purchase and sale of real property, trade secret, and unfair business practice cases.
