History
Gordon K. Sattro has spent years working alongside brilliant entrepreneurs, inspired entertainers, and clients who needed a fighter in their corner. Over the course of his career, Mr. Sattro worked for a number of firms and corporations, including one of the most sought-after corporate firms in the country. He uniquely combines his experience from the boardrooms of Los Angeles and the disputes on Hollywood sets to ensure a full suite of services is available to meet the needs of his diverse clientele.
Mr. Sattro found that serving his clients well meant assembling a team with complementary practice areas, capable of acting as a full solution to their legal needs. Those areas intersect constantly, and that overlap made him eager to cultivate a practice of his own, one that connects his command of the business arena with the interests of those in the entertainment industry, and extends to individuals seeking justice after an injury through the firm's Call Big G personal injury division.
Mr. Sattro believes that what wins a case and what makes a creative business thrive is the same thing: the passion that drives it. He brings that passion to Sattro Law Group every day.
