State Bar Court of California Welcomes New Chief Court Counsel

A California-based attorney with over three decades of experience, Kevin Taguchi oversees a personal injury law firm in Hayward. Throughout his career, Kevin Taguchi has maintained membership in the State Bar of California.

In addition to offering a variety of programs to help advance the careers of practicing attorneys, the State Bar of California serves as the disciplinary body charged with making sure attorneys uphold the organization’s code of ethics. To serve this duty, the organization operates the State Bar Court, which comprises independent judges and a chief court counsel who oversees court operations.

In October 2017, the State Bar of California welcomed Gregory Dresser as the new chief court counsel. A former litigation partner at Morrison & Foerster, Dresser has held several managerial positions within in the State Bar. His previous activities in the organization include serving as interim chief trial counsel and assistant chief trial counsel. 

Dresser stepped into his new role October 23. In doing so, he replaced Colin Wong, who retired after serving on the State Bar Court for over 25 years.
