About

ABOUT

Counselors.
Strategists. Advocates.

We are counselors, strategists, and advocates. Our extensive experience allows us to provide a focused and creative approach to a wide variety of professional liability matters, including both the prosecution and defense of errors and omissions claims, counseling on ethical and conflict issues, and State Bar claims against lawyers.   


It is our practice to evaluate claims at an early stage to determine an appropriate strategy for resolution.


We have successfully defended, prosecuted, and resolved claims against professionals, through trial, pre-trial motions, appeals and settlements.


We are familiar with working with insurers where a professional liability insurer is involved.

Our History

RH | Montes De Oca and its predecessor firms have a long history and deep ties to the community. In 2001, founding partners Russell Roeca, Edward Haas, and Daniel Hager established the firm Roeca Haas Hager LLP. In 2012, Kyle Montes De Oca joined the firm as an associate attorney. 


In 2016, Kyle became a partner and was added to the firm name, thereby creating Roeca Haas Montes De Oca LLP.

Sadly, that same year, founding partner Ed Haas passed away. The firm continued under the same banner until October 2020, when Kyle’s law partner, Russell Roeca, was appointed and sworn in as a Judge of the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco. 


Kyle continues the firm’s legacy of high quality legal service and commitment to its clients and the community as the principal attorney in the successor firm of RH | Montes De Oca.
