The late 1940s saw what is now the northern end of Silicon Valley grow from farmland to new subdivisions, public roads, and start-up businesses. Frank Hannig developed a reputation as a hard working, honest attorney, serving the needs of a rapidly developing county with a keen legal and business mind. He also lent his efforts and support to many worthwhile community projects and organizations, many of which serve hundreds in the community today, due in large part to his efforts.

Frank Hannig was the attorney for some of the founders of today's electronics industry. He was the corporate and personal attorney of Charles Litton, founder of Litton Industries. As he developed his practice, his legal work and reputation brought him in contact with the founders of many companies, including companies such as Hewlett Packard and Ampex. Yet he remained dedicated to the service of all clients in all their needs, from real estate, to business to estate planning, regardless of their station in life. His was a most personal practice, dedicated to excellent service on a long-term relationship basis. Respected by his peers, Frank Hannig served as President of the local Bar Association and was recipient of the Outstanding Citizen award.

In 1983 he was joined in the practice of law by his son, Hannig Law Firm LLP co-founder Ted Hannig. Frank and Ted both practiced at Ropers, Majeski et al, a firm of over 175 attorneys.

Ted continued the tradition of seeking to provide high quality, relationship-based legal services. After 15 years at Ropers, Majeski, where he became one of their youngest senior partner, he decided to bring "big firm" experience to a more client orientated and personal business law practice. He then opened the Silicon Valley office for Miller, Starr & Regalia, a highly respected real estate law firm. While Mr. Hannig's real estate practice was well served, he wished to better serve his business clients. Joining with his long-time friend, accomplished employment and construction law litigator Ann Liroff, they formed Hannig Law Firm LLP with the concept that a local firm of experienced attorneys could better serve and represent their clients. In 1998 they acquired a permanent home for the Firm at Selby Squares, a colonial style building on the corner of El Camino Real and Selby Lane. The building receives many compliments from visitors as a warm and friendly building, with ample adjacent client parking.

Hannig Law Firm LLP obtained the highest independant ethics and skills rating for a law firm available ("A-V") and has recently been listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers. There are approximately 20 attorneys, paralegals, and support staff at Hannig Law Firm.

Hannig Law Firm has attorneys practicing in virtually all areas of business, real estate, employment, tax and trust, and estate law. Their lawyers are active in many aspects of the local community, helping numerous civic programs; one of the attorneys in the firm is Mayor of Woodside. The firm remains dedicated to goal of complete client satisfaction through high quality work. The firm prides itself in innovative solutions to complex transactional and litigation challenges.

Perhaps one of the firm's greatest honors is serving clients that have been with the Hannig family for over 50 years. An example of such representation is depicted above in an early photo of Frank Hannig's offices; the title company, a first floor tenant and client in the 1940s, is a client of Hannig Law Firm today. "Quality, personal and professional service, delivered with integrity, never goes out of style," explains Ted Hannig.
