Timothy P. Irving is a partner in Ross, Dixon & Bell, LLP’s San Diego, California office. He joined the firm in 1992.

Mr. Irving has a complex commercial litigation practice that includes commercial contract disputes, business tort claims, fraud and breach of fiduciary duty claims, insurance coverage litigation, and federal False Claims Act litigation. He was formerly associated with the San Diego office of a national law firm, where he represented insurers in complex litigation over the nature and extent of insurance coverage for high-exposure environmental pollution claims. Mr. Irving has successfully defended a large number of insurance bad faith cases and has handled questions of coverage on a wide variety of issues, including securities fraud and class-action claims, construction defect and products liability claims, and first-party property losses. He is experienced in all phases of litigation in state and federal courts, including pretrial and motion practice, alternative dispute resolution, and trial.

Mr. Irving obtained his law degree from the University of California at Davis, where he was the Chair of the Moot Court Honors Board and a member of the Roger Traynor State Moot Court Team. He also served as an extern law clerk for Associate Justice Roger G. Connor of the Alaska Supreme Court.

In 1999 Mr. Irving was a member of the RDB trial team that won one of the largest False Claims Act cases in history, following a three-month federal court jury trial. The case was brought on behalf of a whistleblower who discovered that his former employer had underpaid royalties to the Government on tens of thousands of purchases of crude oil from federal and Indian lands.
