About LG Law Group

LG Law Group handles civil litigation and family law for businesses, business owners and professionals, resolving matters both in court and out of it so clients can move on with their lives. It's a small litigation firm that two married lawyers, Katie Ling and Jesse Garcia, run together.

Each partner owns one side of the practice. Ling leads the family law matters and also runs marketing, business management and tech. Garcia handles the civil litigation files, plus finances, operations and administration.

Ling has a background in business and family law and brings a considered, settlement-focused approach to family matters. Garcia comes from general litigation and government oversight and works through civil disputes in a practical, analytical way. Echo, the office dog, has been part of the client support team since day one.

Practice areas

Commercial, property, estate and employment disputes

The civil practice covers corporate and commercial disputes, real estate litigation, estate litigation and employment law.

Separations with complex finances

Family files here centre on money: mostly property division and support, and particularly where a business or a high income is part of the picture. The firm also handles separation agreements, cohabitation agreements and marriage contracts, and offers collaborative family law.

How LG Law Group works

The firm exists to resolve legal disputes so clients can get back to what matters most to them, the same things Ling and Garcia have shaped their own lives around: time with family and friends, good food and outdoor adventures. Its approach rests on pairing the two lawyers' complementary styles, skill sets and experience to solve legal and business problems.

Milestones & recognition

  • 2019: Ling and Garcia opened their own firm, run with no staff and plenty of technology, and started advising other law firms on their marketing and tech.
  • 2024: the firm narrowed its client base to businesses, their owners and other professionals looking to settle civil and family disputes practically and reasonably.
