Pacific Landmark vs. San Diego Unified Port District This lawsuit was brought on behalf of the owners and developers of the Marriott Hotel in San Diego for the delay in the construction of the San Diego Convention Center. The Convention Center was to be located next to the Marriott and its delay caused the hotel to lose business that it otherwise would have had if the Convention Center had been completed on time. The Port of San Diego paid $11,325,880 to settle the case. Other defendants, including the architects of the Convention Center, settled for confidential amounts.

Pacific Landmark Ltd. v. Convention Center Architects. This case was brought against the Convention Center architects for their part in the delay of the Convention Center, which cost the Marriott Hotel revenues. It was settled for a confidential amount.

Bunton v. Taylor Diving & Salvage Company (a Halliburton Company). This case involved the sunken treasure off the coast of China located by a former sea lab aquanaut, who was then double-crossed by his partner, a company that had entered into a confidentiality agreement and contract with him for bringing up the treasure. The case settled for a confidential amount.

Viglotti v. Air Logistics Corporation. This case involved investment misrepresentations and contract breaches. The case settled for a confidential amount.

Tera Power Corporation vs. The State of California After the State of California terminated long-term wind energy contracts, alleging that the contracts were breached by the companies that provided the energy.

The case settled for a confidential amount.

Rolando Properties, Inc. vs. Cabot, Morgan, Miller and Blair Rolando Properties, Inc. and its assets, including a shopping center, was the subject of litigation involving the corporate officers and shareholders and a family trust that was a major creditor of the corporation. The law firm that represented the trust and its trustees in the litigation later represented the corporation in a renegotiation of the lease for the shopping center.

The McClellan Law Firm represented Rolando in this legal malpractice action, alleging that lease rights and personal guarantees were negotiated away without adequate compensation or advice to the corporation, resulting in the loss of the corporation's shopping center. The case settled during trial for the defendants' policy limits.

Hilmen v. Orange Coast Title Company. In this case, the defendants issued title insurance to the clients of The McClellan Law Firm despite the fact that the property could not be developed because title was lacking to the only access road to the property. The case settled for a confidential amount.

The Estate of Metcalf v. Muns was a fraud action against a nephew who had defrauded his aunt and a legal malpractice action against the attorney that represented the aunt and knew or should have known of the fraud. The case settled during trial for $1 million.
