Gerald McMahon is a civil litigator, Chairman of the Board and head of Seltzer Caplan McMahon Vitek’s Litigation Department. He’s been practicing law for 44 years and in that time he’s tried more than 100 cases before juries, judges, arbitration panels and administrative law judges. He’s tried contract cases, insurance, personal injury, family law, patent law, national and agricultural labor relations board cases, pretty much everything except criminal law. Early on in his career he did four pro bono criminal cases, losing the first three and after the fourth decided no more. Those who have encountered him have named him a perfect gentleman, inside the court or out. And an expert litigator as well. He’s been listed with Best Lawyers in America in Business Litigation, Family Law and “Bet-the-Company” Litigation categories every year since 1988, and selected to San Diego Super Lawyers for the last 3 years. He’s had a long successful career, one in which he’s approached every case and every person involved with the cases with a single simple philosophy; "I treat every individual with respect and anticipate the same in turn," McMahon says. "This isn't a contest; it's a quest for resolution."
