About Us

Our Influence Brings Your Success

Desmond & Desmond effectively advocates on behalf of trade associations and businesses before the legislative and executive branches of the State of California as well as local and regional governmental entities.

The firm provides comprehensive government relations services that create positive results through the relationships, integrity, and skills it brings to challenging public policy issues.

Jerry Desmond leads the firm established by Jerry Sr. in the early 1970s with a practice that benefits from decades of advocacy experience, enhanced by today’s techniques and contemporary relationships.

The firm’s unique synergy is created by the combination of Jerry, his sister Claudine Irwin who joined the firm in 1992, as well as Anne Schillig who has been with the firm since 2005.

“You would never think Jerry had any other clients.”
