Second Graduate Named a Southern California “Super Lawyer”

Joining David Shaneyfelt (’81) in the newly released list of Southern California Super Lawyers — the top 5 percent of attorneys in the region — is fellow alumnus Raymond Tittmann (’94). A partner in the Los Angeles office of Wargo French, Mr. Tittman is a litigator specializing in insurance coverage, class and collective action, unfair competition, and complex commercial litigation.

When he assumed his new position at Wargo French last year, Mr. Titman expressed gratitude to his alma mater “for propelling me into my legal career,” adding that a liberal education is excellent preparation for aspiring attorneys. “I always tell people that if you can dissect Aristotle, you can certainly dissect an insurance policy,” he said.

Super Lawyers is “a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement,” the annual guide notes. To make the list, attorneys must make it through a rigorous nomination and peer-review process that considers such factors as verdicts, settlements, professional honors, experience, pro-bono work, and community service.

Readers may recall that, in 2015, Mr. Shaneyfelt and Mr. Tittmann teamed up to present a national webinar for the American Law Institute, Insurance Bad Faith: Strategies for Avoiding or Pursuing Claims.
