About Us

For more than 40 years, Miller Starr Regalia has been one of the preeminent real estate law firms in California.  For nearly all that time, members of the firm have written Miller & Starr, California Real Estate 3d, the 12-volume encyclopedia on California real estate law.  We call it “The Book.”  The Book is the most widely used and judicially recognized real estate legal treatise in California and is cited by practicing attorneys and courts throughout the state.

We have sixty attorneys in our Walnut Creek and Palo Alto offices, all of whom concentrate on real property matters, making us one of the largest real estate law practices in California.  Our firm has expertise in all real property related legal matters including transactions, acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, construction, management, title, environmental, and land use, in addition to full-service litigation and dispute resolution services.  The firm’s depth and breadth of experience enable Miller Starr Regalia to represent numerous Fortune 500 companies, developers of retail, office, multifamily and industrial projects, homebuilders, lenders, media companies, educational institutions, government agencies, privately held companies and real estate investors.

Miller Starr Regalia’s litigation group offers skill, experience and expertise in real estate and general business litigation at the trial and appellate level, as well as in administrative proceedings.  Our litigators represent clients in many complex commercial and business litigation matters, including disputes involving contracts, corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, commercial tenancies, federal and state environmental issues, condemnation, real property, foreclosures, construction, product liability, and unfair and anti-competitive business practices.

Since our inception, we have approached real estate law differently than most firms.  For us, it is more than a specialty; it is our focus.  That is why we have dedicated our efforts to California businesses and property owners, with sound advice and solutions for all facets of their real estate legal needs.

The breadth and depth of our knowledge allows us to see beyond legal obstacles to find opportunities and practical solutions for our clients. Combined with our attentive approach and sufficient size to handle complex disputes and transactions, we are uniquely situated to meet the real estate legal needs of any organization.
