Our Firm

A boutique insurance defense firm in Redding, serving businesses, employers, and public entities throughout California since 1983.

Wayne Maire founded the law firm over 40 years ago in Redding, California. Since its inception, the firm has specialized in representing businesses, employers, and public entities in all manner of civil litigation matters. Our firm enjoys and protects a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality legal defense work with professionalism and integrity.

Local and Experienced Defense Counsel

Our attorneys have extensive trial and courtroom experience in a broad spectrum of practice areas. The team at MPW operates primarily in-office, as opposed to remotely. We prioritize and value in-person collaboration — with our clients, with plaintiffs and opposing counsel, and with witnesses. We prefer in-person meetings and live depositions whenever possible. In our experience, our location has been advantageous in allowing us to foster closer relationships with the people and entities we represent. Those relationships provide us with helpful knowledge and context of the issues and claims we are defending, and greater access to information that makes investigation and defense of claims less burdensome and more efficient.

Personal Injury

In addition to our defense work, our experienced staff will also help injured victims navigate through personal injury claims in an effort to assist in recovery of losses for medical care, property loss, and lost income. Our reputation for high-quality legal representation helps us to assist our clients efficiently and effectively.

Strategic Northern California Location

The firm’s location in Redding, California, enables effective representation in rural areas stretching throughout California. With eight lawyers and two paralegals, we serve clients throughout California. We regularly practice in courts across the state. Because we are locally based and hands-on, we bring practical familiarity with the courts, venues, and communities where our cases arise, while providing the responsiveness and accountability that our clients expect. Our senior partners and lead trial counsel have tried cases in every corner of the State.

Efficient Case Management

As a small business ourselves, MPW is aware of the high cost of running a business in California. We know how expensive litigation can be, and we help our clients manage that expense by being resolution-oriented and providing early and accurate case valuations. For the cases where early resolution is not practical or possible and a rigorous legal defense is required, we employ strategies and techniques to provide efficient, cost-effective case handling that benefits our clients and helps insurers accurately predict legal fees and costs related to defense of their claims.

Client Communication and Collaboration

We prioritize regular communication and collaborative management to ensure clients receive clear updates and make informed decisions.
