Pleasanton Law Firm Adds Prominent Attorney

PLEASANTON, Calif., March 18 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Patton Martin & Sullivan LLP has announced that it has started 2010 with the formation of a key "of-counsel" relationship with  Martin ("Marty") Inderbitzen.

The addition of Mr. Inderbitzen, a recognized expert in real estate law, to the Patton Martin & Sullivan team extends the law firm's practice areas to real estate transactions, land use, entitlement, zoning and corporate and partnership matters. Patton Martin & Sullivan is known for its trial and appellate expertise in business, real estate, and intellectual property matters.

Mr. Inderbitzen has enjoyed a long association with Steve McNichols, a prominent litigator in the Bay Area, who has also established an "of counsel" relationship with John Patton, Kevin Martin, and Randy Sullivan at their offices at 6600 Koll Center Parkway in Pleasanton, California.

Also based in Pleasanton, Mr. Inderbitzen has practiced law in Northern California for over 30 years. He has recently been involved with several real estate projects, including the entitlement, processing and development of the Dublin Ranch Project in Dublin, Calif. — a 1,500-acre mixed-use development project consisting of over 5,000 residential units, 2,000,000 square feet of office, commercial and retail uses, multiple parks, schools and public buildings as well as $500,000,000 in infrastructure improvements; a 36-acre commercial project in Livermore, Calif.; a 51-unit custom lot residential project in Pleasanton, California; and a 500,000 square-foot mixed-use commercial project in Hacienda Business Park in Pleasanton.

"Our association with Marty was a natural, given his superior reputation, recognized real estate expertise, and his extensive and productive working relationship with Steve McNichols and, my partner, Randy Sullivan," said John Patton, a seasoned litigation and appellate partner in the firm. "You don't often find lawyers that have Marty's knowledge, expertise and his creative ability to solve complex problems. His addition is a tremendous asset for our team."

Steve McNichols agreed. "This new relationship gives the firm the ability to provide real value to business and real estate clients in non-litigation matters, and we can continue to assist Marty in resolving and, when necessary, litigating complicated disputes. I have known and worked with Marty for over 20 years. He is a great person and lawyer."

Mr. Inderbitzen's affiliation brings Patton Martin & Sullivan's ranks to six attorneys in Pleasanton, each with extensive practice backgrounds.  The firm's structure is tailored to efficiently and effectively meet its clients' needs.
