About
About Villasenor Law Offices
Senior-level counsel with an in-house perspective, serving San Diego businesses since 2002.
The Firm
Attorneys Who Understand Business, Not Just Law
Villasenor Law Offices was founded in 2002 to give San Diego businesses something most law firms cannot offer: counsel who has actually worked inside both private and public companies. The firm serves established businesses across San Diego County, from single-engagement contract and dispute work to long-running outside general counsel relationships, several of which have lasted more than a decade.
The firm is deliberately built as a responsive team that uses technology to work efficiently. Clients get direct access to their attorney and clear communication about where things stand.

About Chris Villasenor
Chris Villasenor has practiced law for more than 30 years. Before founding the firm, he served as in-house counsel for a public technology company and public defense company, where he learned how legal decisions actually get made inside a business: under budget pressure, on real timelines, and in service of commercial goals. That experience shapes how he practices today. Advice is practical, plain-spoken, and grounded in what the business is trying to accomplish.
Chris is also an experienced litigator who has tried and resolved cases across three decades. That matters even for clients who never see a courtroom, because every contract he drafts is built by someone who knows how contracts get attacked.
A San Diegan since high school, Chris earned his B.A. from the University of California, San Diego and his J.D. from California Western School of Law. He is an active leader in the San Diego professional community, including serving as a group leader in ProVisors, a network of senior professional advisors.
