Our History
RH | Montes De Oca and its predecessor firms have a long history and deep ties to the Bay Area. In 2001, partners Russell S. Roeca, Edward D. Haas, and Daniel W. Hager founded Roeca Haas Hager LLP, a boutique professional liability firm in San Francisco. In 2012, Kyle Montes De Oca joined the firm as an associate attorney, and in 2016 became a named partner in what became known as Roeca Haas Montes De Oca LLP. Unfortunately, that same year, founding partner Ed Haas passed away.
The firm continued operating under the same banner until October 2020, when Kyle’s remaining law partner, Russell Roeca, was appointed 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 statewide clients as the principal attorney in the successor firm of RH | Montes De Oca, APC.

We work collaboratively. We partner with our clients based on close communication and understanding of their needs and objectives. We provide effective, creative problem-solving and dispute resolution so that our clients profit from our relationship.
We do not compromise on quality. We are hard-working and take pride in our work. We continually strive to deliver the highest quality work product and client service on every matter entrusted to us.
We are ethical, fair, and honest. We observe the highest ethical standards at all times and deal honestly and fairly with our clients, opposing parties and the courts.
