Since then, we’ve been providing the Central Valley with outstanding legal representation in multiple practice areas. Our hard-working and diligent attorneys work with our clients – striving to get them the results they’re hoping for.
At Griswold LaSalle, the things we care about most are displayed in our tagline – Serving Clients, Establishing Careers, Building Community.
A Historic Legacy at the Heart of Hanford
Our law office stands as a proud reflection of Hanford’s rich heritage and enduring spirit. Located in a historic downtown landmark, our building has long been a part of the city’s story. Originally opened as a hotel in the early 20th century, it later became a beloved furniture store that served generations of local families. Through each chapter, this space has remained a cornerstone of community life—welcoming, familiar, and full of purpose.
Today, we are honored to continue that legacy by offering trusted legal guidance in a place deeply rooted in Hanford’s past. Just as this building has adapted to meet the evolving needs of the city, we are committed to serving our clients with dedication, compassion, and integrity. Every case we handle is more than just legal work—it’s a continuation of the longstanding tradition of service that this space has always represented.
Carrying Forward a Legacy of Hospitality and Service
Despite the many changes in occupants and purpose over the decades, the spirit of hospitality that once defined this historic building still lives on. From its early days welcoming guests as a hotel to its time as a trusted local business, this space has always been a place of connection and care. At Griswold LaSalle, we are honored to carry that legacy forward—now offering personalized legal services instead of lodging or retail, but with the same commitment to warmth and community.
We believe every client deserves to be treated with respect, dignity, and genuine attention. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to ensure that everyone who walks through our doors feels supported, heard, and valued. In continuing this tradition of service, we not only pay tribute to the building’s storied past—we help shape a future grounded in trust, compassion, and a deep sense of responsibility to those we serve.
A Living Landmark: Where History Meets the Present
Today, the building stands as a powerful symbol of Hanford’s resilience and enduring character, gracefully blending the richness of its history with the vitality of the present. Through careful and thoughtful restorations, its historical integrity has been preserved—from the intricate moldings to the authentic architectural details that echo a bygone era. These preserved elements serve as a reminder of the city’s roots while harmonizing with the modern functionality needed to serve today’s community.
More than just a structure, this space radiates a deep sense of place and purpose. The welcoming ambiance that greets every visitor reflects both the building’s legacy and the values of those who inhabit it now. As a living landmark, it continues to play an essential role in Hanford’s story—honoring the past while embracing the future with a spirit of service, connection, and community pride.
