Robert Stellwagen focuses his practice on the representation of professionals: design, construction, real estate and legal professionals, including architects, engineers, general contractors, trade contractors, suppliers, developers, brokers, agents and attorneys. His practice has included general consultation on the issues affecting design, construction, and real estate industry professionals, their businesses, employees, consultants, intellectual property rights and contracts, and representing them in litigated matters as both plaintiffs and defendants through jury and court trials, arbitrations, and mediations. Robert's reported appellate decisions include Tomko Woll Group Architects, Inc. v. Superior Court (1996) 46 Cal.App.4th 1326, which enforced the patent defect statute of limitations in a lawsuit against an engineer.
Robert earned the Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego, graduating cum laude. He was awarded the Juris Doctor degree by Hastings College of Law.
When not representing clients, Robert is busy as a member of the local American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), where he has served as lecturer as he does for the American Council of Engineering Companies of California (ACEC California, formerly the Consulting Engineers and Land Surveyors of California known as CELSOC) and for other industry groups. He is a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association (where he served several terms on the Judicial Election Evaluation Committee), the Pasadena Bar Association, and the Association of Southern California Defense Counsel. He is admitted to practice in the State of California, the United States District Court, Central District, and the United States Court of Claims.
