Our Story
Reicker Pfau was founded in 1996 as a full-service firm offering corporate, real estate and land use, litigation, employment and trusts and estate planning. Our goal was simple: the finest legal representation, delivered with an efficient, problem-solving approach. Today we are firmly established as the premier law firm in Santa Barbara.
Though our roots are here, our clients are everywhere. We represent individuals and businesses across California, the country and the world, including high-growth tech companies, real estate and hospitality companies, private equity and venture capital funds, pension funds, financial institutions and high net worth individuals.
Our attorneys have practiced at some of the world's largest law firms, advised major public companies as in-house counsel and served as JAG officers in the United States armed forces. They have also built strong ties at home, volunteering, serving on boards and providing pro bono counsel to local nonprofits, all to strengthen the community we live in.
