CHRISSA N. CORDAY, ESQ.
Chrissa N. Corday founded Corday & Hartney, PLC in 1997 after years of a successful litigation practice. Her practice now entirely concentrates on trusts, probate & estates. Her hands-on and practical approach has served clients both large and small, public and private. Ms. Corday is a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law by the California Board of Legal Specialization.
A rare native of Las Vegas, Nevada, Ms. Corday moved to San Diego to attend law school and never left. She loves to travel, but when at home, her favorite pastimes are cooking and eating, not necessarily in that order. Although there is usually not enough time in the day, you may often find her at her local golf course.
Ms. Corday was selected a Super Lawyer for Estate Planning and Probate in 2021. She has held an AV rating with Martindale Hubbell for over 20 years. Ms. Corday is also proud to have been selected top lawyer in San Diego (for the past seven years) as published in San Diego Magazine and selected Best of the Best by the San Diego Business Journal. You can read her selection at Best of Bar 2014.
