Built on integrity. Driven by results.

The story of Lawtide began with a simple belief: every person deserves fierce advocacy and exceptional legal representation, regardless of their circumstances.

What started as a small practice in 1995 has grown into one of the region's most respected law firms not because we're the biggest, but because we're the best at what we do. We win cases. We change lives. We make justice accessible.

How we became one of the region's most trusted law firms

Lawtide was founded in 1995 by Jonathan Hayes, a young trial attorney who had just secured a landmark $3 million verdict for a family devastated by medical malpractice.

Jonathan envisioned a different kind of law firm one where clients weren't just case numbers, where phone calls were returned promptly, and where attorneys fought as fiercely for working families as they did for Fortune 500 companies. With that vision, Lawtide was born.

By 2005, we had grown to a team of eight attorneys and had recovered over $20 million for our clients. Our reputation attracted top legal talent, including Sarah Chen, who joined as our Family Law Department Chair, and Robert Martinez, who brought his big-firm litigation experience to serve our business clients.
