Of the other partners in the of- fice, Jay Jeffcoat is on sabbatical, and for the past year, Rick Storms has been primarily ba d in an Diego although he has spent a great deal oftime 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. The firm will continue to main- tain its La Jolla satellite office and, according to Neeper, ''at the pres- ent time" there are no plans to add any others. * * * While some San Diego firms

and traffic is easier," said Harvey. In addition to the four attorneys in estate planning and probate, there are seven in the business sec- tion, which includes high tech, and three or four in real estate. The decision to open a Carlsbad office was made becaw e 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- ing area," said Harvey, which "may or may not be a Century Ci- ty." Expansion plans? 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 six years ago when "we attempted an affiliation" with the Los Angeles firm of Hill, Jeffer & Mangles. "That·very loose affiliation lasted · for a few years",and w:i.s disbanded because it was "not mutually beneficial." One of the first firms to move in- to North County m the early 1970s was Higgs, Fletcher & Mack which started an Escondido office with two attorneys. Xow there are eight. "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 m the North Coast area," said Guinn. It was closed after two years. "I don't thmk 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."
