Tardiff Law was established in 1980 in San Luis Obispo and has seen several generations of experienced attorneys succeed and retire within its walls. It continues to be a Central Coast staple providing elite legal representation in San Luis Obispo and throughout California. Neil S. Tardiff has practiced law on the Central Coast for over 30 years and his son, Dustin M. Tardiff, a San Luis Obispo native, joined his practice in 2011. Tardiff Law has extensive appellate experience and has handled well over 100 jury trials since its inception with many published opinions. We specialize in Civil, Criminal, and Administrative Appeals and Writs and offer trial consultations, settlement evaluations, and the drafting of pre-trial and post-trial motions. We provide attorneys, corporate, government and individual clients with excellent litigation and appellate advice with 40 years combined trial and appellate experience in both State and Federal Courts. Located next door to the Avila Bay Athletic Club in Avila Beach, California, Tardiff Law is a full service law firm with deep roots in the Central Coast.
