Presidio Law Firm LLP was founded in 2025 by Travis C. Logue and Lawrence J. Conlan, two of California’s most accomplished civil, business, and real-estate litigators with deep experience in trial advocacy and complex dispute resolution. Together, they have secured more than $1.5 billion in verdicts, settlements, and real estate transactions, including landmark appellate victories, record recoveries, and high-value business and property resolutions.
After decades of leading litigation and real estate practices at prominent firms, they set out to build a modern practice rooted in trial excellence, practical judgment, and exceptional client service. Their complementary strengths—strategic litigation and disciplined negotiation—drive a client-focused model designed to deliver meaningful, lasting results.
Every engagement reflects one mission: to protect our clients’ property, relationships, and rights with strategic discipline and unwavering resolve.
Our Name
Founded in Santa Barbara’s historic Presidio District, the firm draws both its name and inspiration from the city’s original stronghold. Established in 1782, El Presidio Real de Santa Bárbara safeguarded the early community—a symbol of vigilance, strength, and purpose. That same spirit defines our work today as we represent clients across California, defending their interests with integrity, precision, and resolve.
A Unified Approach to Advocacy
We know legal matters rarely exist in silos. That’s why we approach each case with a wider lens and a deeper understanding of what’s at stake—whether resolving a partnership conflict, navigating a real estate issue, or pursuing justice after loss. Clients receive strategies shaped by the full context of their situation, rather than a narrow view.
Values That Guide Every Decision
Precision, vigilance, and integrity shape how we evaluate matters, communicate with clients, and make strategic choices. These principles reflect the intention behind our work and the responsibility we carry when clients entrust us with their most consequential legal challenges.
Results-Oriented
Meaningful results come from understanding leverage and positioning each matter for the strongest possible outcome. We resolve disputes efficiently through negotiation when it benefits the client, and litigation when it does not, to protect assets, limit exposure, and secure lasting advantages.
Service that puts clients first
Putting clients first means understanding their goals, protecting their interests, and providing responsive, reliable guidance. From the start of every engagement, we clarify the issues, assess the risks, and shape a strategy that fits the client’s needs—whether safeguarding significant assets, resolving a business dispute, or navigating the aftermath of a loss. It’s why clients turn to us first.
We communicate directly and consistently, explain options in clear terms, and offer candid guidance at each stage. Clients can expect timely updates, thoughtful analysis, and an approach that anticipates issues rather than reacts to them. Our role is to deliver strategic insight and principled advocacy while making the legal process as clear and manageable as possible.
