Alderton Hemphill & Peer
Alderton Hemphill & Peer was formed in 2026 through the tactical merger of two distinguished and longstanding litigation firms: Hager & Dowling, founded in 1997, and Woolls Peer Dollinger & Scher, established in 2000.
We are a premier litigation firm with offices in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, California. We provide exceptional legal services to a diverse client base, from individuals to large corporations, delivering strategic, results-driven representation.
Our attorneys combine outstanding trial experience with proven success in mediation, arbitration, and other forms of dispute resolution. We represent clients in state and federal courts throughout California and across the country.
While litigation remains our core strength, we have grown into a full-service firm with focused practices in insurance coverage, public entity defense, general torts, appellate matters, environmental law, and personal injury. In every area, we tailor our approach to meet the specific needs of each client.
We are committed to delivering high-quality, cost-effective legal services by managing each case with precision and attention from inception through resolution. When matters proceed to trial, our attorneys’ depth of experience ensures that our clients’ interests are strongly and effectively represented.
At Alderton, Hemphill & Peer, we value both our clients and our team. Our collaborative work environment supports a unified, detail-oriented approach to every matter. We are dedicated to achieving our clients’ objectives and building lasting relationships through trusted counsel and responsive service.
