Ventura Hersey Muller, LLP

What Ventura Hersey Muller, LLP does

Ventura Hersey & Muller, LLP is a California-based limited liability partnership providing legal representation to individuals and businesses across four practice areas: contracts and business disputes, residential and commercial real estate transactions and litigation, construction contracts/defects/payment claims, and labor/employment/discrimination cases. The firm operates from two physical offices — a headquarters at 1506 Hamilton Ave. in San Jose and a second location in the East Bay — and states that its clients are located throughout California. The named roster comprises five attorneys (Payal Chhabria, David I. Kornbluh, Daniel J. Muller, Anthony F. Ventura, and Katerina U), with the three equity partners reflected in the firm name (Anthony F. Ventura, Christopher J. Hersey, and Daniel J. Muller).

The business operates as a traditional professional services firm with no technology products, APIs, or proprietary platforms. Revenue is generated through attorney billings — hourly rates, flat fees, or contingency arrangements, none of which are publicly disclosed — and go-to-market is sales-led via direct attorney-client relationships, supplemented by a Squarespace-hosted website and word-of-mouth referrals. The firm is privately held with no external investment, no parent company, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, no patents or trademarks, and no disclosed partnerships. Operating status is active, though founding year and revenue figures are not disclosed in available sources.
