Equine Lawyer
Equine Law in the United States and Throughout the World
People with horses are heavily invested in their animals — on an emotional and financial level. The Law Offices of Michael Brooks Carroll recognizes the complex business relationships, the financial stakes and the diverse legal needs of horse owners, stable owners, breeders, trainers and equitation instructors.
A horse breeder himself, Mike Carroll is extensively familiar with the equine industry, particularly with Arabians, Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses and Saddlebreds. Just as importantly, he brings 30 years of experience in contract law and litigation to protect his client's interests and favorably resolve disputes.
Based in San Francisco, our established horse law practice serves a wide range of clients in the Bay Area, Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez horse communities, across Northern California, and in equine circles of Arizona (Scottsdale and Phoenix). Mr. Carroll has represented clients in disputes with the Arabian Horse Association, and established his reputation years ago in a major antitrust case that broke up the Arabian business.

Equine Litigation and Dispute Resolution
Attorney Mike Carroll represents all parties in horse-related legal disputes: disagreements over ownership interest, breeding disputes, transactions and allegations of fraud or misrepresentation.
