See more on Michael Attanasio

Cooley Godward Kronish | San Diego

As partner and chair of the firm's San Diego litigation practice, he reaped a big win in March. After two hung-jury trials, Attanasio got a federal judge to drop criminal charges against his client, Daniel F. Stulac, a former Arthur Andersen accountant and partner, who worked on Perregrine Systems' financial statements while fraud was going on at the software company. Stulac had faced up to 30 years in prison, if convicted. Attanasio also serves as an adjunct professor of law at the University of San Diego School of Law, where he teaches a course on white-collar and corporate crime. He recently completed a three-year term as a lawyer representative to the 9th U.S. Circuit Judicial Conference.
