"The change should largely be Complete by Ju ly l," sai·d manag- ing partner Josiah Neeper, who hl ·mself shuttled between San Diego and El Centro in 1981-82. San Diego's largest law firm has been in the Imperial Valley for about 10 years and may be the only one ever to have set up an office there. The firm will continue to reverse the commute and make the two-hour trip from downtown San I The change has come about, ex- ~ained Neeper, because "the Im- perial Valley throughout the 1980s has experienced a slowdown by reason of difficult times in agricul- ture" making it "more efficient" to go from a "resident office" to one of Ronald Pettis, who went to El Centro in 1982, added that the Im- perial Valley has not had the "growth economy" that San Diego is experiencing. Of the other partners in the of- fice, Jay Jeffcoat is on abbatical, and for the past year, Rick Storms has been primarily based in an Diego although he has spent a great deal of time in El Centro In January, associate Anne Richardson left Gray, ,Cary and started with Byrd, Sturdevant, Harmon & Pace in El Centro. According to Pettis, Gray, Cary had as many as six attorneys in the valley at one time. "It's interesting work. There are interesting people," said Pettis, who noted the amount of interna- tional business.

In addition to the four attorneys in estate planning and probate, there are seven m the business sec- tion, which includes hin-h tech, and The decision to open a Carlsbad office was made because of the "exploding North County market." However, after much study the decision was made to close both La Jolla and Carlsbad because UTC has become such a "dynamic grow- mg area," said Harvey, which "may or may not he a Century Ci- For the foreseeable future "our region of influence will be Los Angeles south," said Harvey. "No sight on Orange County, though. Harvey referred to five or s,x years ago when "we attempted an affiliation" with the Los Angeles firm of Hill, Jeffer & Mangles.

"Local people want a small office to handle their problems," said of- fice administrator Ray Guinn . The Escondido office deals primari- ly with real estate and land use, business litigation, personal inJury defense and municipalities. In 1980 Higgs, Fletcher opened an Oceanside office because "the people from the coast area didn't want to drive over to Escondido and wanted lawyers in the North Coast area," said Guinn. It was closed after two years. "I don't think there's enough busi- ness up there to sustain a large firm," said Guinn, emphasizing that this was his personal opinion, Now "we try to service it from Escondido." Another growing area that could be serviced fram Escondido is Ran- cho California, 30 minutes north of Escondido which is also within reach of Riverside, Orange County and Los Angeles law firms.
