What Monteleone & McCrory does

Monteleone & McCrory, LLP is a Los Angeles-based, full-service law firm founded in 1958 by Steven Monteleone and Darrell McCrory. The firm maintains a single office at 445 S Figueroa St, Suite 2920, in downtown Los Angeles, and operates as a privately held Limited Liability Partnership. It employs 10 attorneys, several of whom are Of Counsel, including two founding-era partners whose tenures exceed 40 years.

The firm organizes its work around six practice areas: Construction Law, Construction Defect Litigation, Business & Real Estate Law, Estate Asset Protection & Business Succession Planning, Corporate & Tax Law, and Employment Law. Its strongest differentiator is a national reputation in construction law, with notable complex litigation outcomes including the first sulfate-attack trial in California and an eight-figure jury verdict. The firm holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell and has sustained recognition in Chambers USA, Southern California Super Lawyers, and Best Lawyers in America; it has also received the Robert Flaig Award from the Real Property Section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association (2018).

Monteleone & McCrory generates revenue through billable legal services delivered directly to clients on a partner-led basis. Compensation is structured around hourly billing, fixed fees for defined matters, and contingency arrangements where applicable; no public fee schedule is disclosed. The firm does not use proprietary technology platforms and relies on relationship-based client acquisition, peer referrals, professional recognition, and a modest social media presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, professional website) for marketing. Some client relationships have spanned three generations, underscoring the relationship-driven nature of its business model.
