The Naumann Law Firm

What The Naumann Law Firm does

The Naumann Law Firm, PC is a privately held, plaintiff-side litigation boutique founded by William Naumann and headquartered in San Diego, California. The firm concentrates on construction defect litigation, insurance bad faith claims, wildfire loss recovery, landslide and geotechnical property damage cases, and inverse condemnation claims against government entities, with documented outcomes spanning more than 40 years and over $500 million in aggregate client recoveries across 480+ settled matters.

The firm organizes its practice around a vertical segmentation model covering homeowners associations, high- and mid-rise condominiums, single and multi-family residences, luxury custom homes, tract developments, condominium conversions, owner-builder projects, and commercial/industrial properties, delivering these services across five Southern California counties (San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino). Commercial operations rely on direct intake via phone (844-492-7474), website contact forms, attorney-to-attorney referrals, and targeted outreach to property managers and HOA boards, supported by an SEO-led content marketing infrastructure including a blog, location-specific service pages, and a Fire Insurance & Recovery video series.

Revenue is generated primarily through contingency fee arrangements in which the firm advances investigation and litigation costs and recovers fees only from settlement or verdict proceeds, with hourly/time-based billing available for select engagements. The named attorney team includes William H. Naumann (Super Lawyer for 11 consecutive years), Loren K. Shiu, and Philip M. Kunka (both Rising Stars), supported by a total headcount of 1-10. Recognitions include the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, Super Lawyers designations, BBB A+ accreditation, and features in CAI Magazine, Los Angeles Daily Journal, McGraw Hill Insurance/Construction Litigation Reporters, and San Diego Law Review.

Revenue model

1. Contingency Fee Legal Services: The firm operates on a contingency fee basis for construction defect litigation. Clients do not pay legal fees unless and until there is a recovery; fees are deducted from the settlement or verdict. Investigation, analysis, and litigation costs are typically advanced by the firm and recovered from proceeds. A majority of cases settle before trial.
2. Hourly/Time-Based Legal Services: Fee arrangements may also include paying for professional services based on time worked and costs incurred, in addition to contingency arrangements.
