Although Kelsall & Associates is based in Carlsbad, California, and serves the cities of San Diego, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas, La Costa and La Jolla, our attorneys regularly practice in numerous state and federal courts throughout the nation. Because of our history and reputation, we are frequently asked to handle litigation in venues far from our home town of Carlsbad. Our lawyers are licensed in many state courts, federal courts and appellate courts.
