Mr. Kim P. Gage – Partner

Kim P. Gage is a partner in the firm’s business litigation team. He has been a driving force in expanding the firm from a local Southern California firm to a regional firm.

Admitted to practice in California State and Federal Courts in 1978, Mr. Gage has handled legal matters, sophisticated litigation, and sophisticated Chapter 11 bankruptcies throughout the Western United States, including Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
