Our History
Welty Legal, PC was founded in 1973 by Mike Welty, and for more than five decades has served individuals, families, and businesses throughout Healdsburg and the greater North Bay. After many years working alongside his father, Matt Welty took over the firm, carrying forward its commitment to practical, attentive counsel while expanding its reach.
Following the 2017 North Bay firestorms, including the Tubbs Fire, and the wildfires that followed across California, including the Camp Fire in Paradise, the Kincade Fire, and the Palisades and Eaton Fires, the firm added insurance recovery to its practice areas, helping policyholders navigate the claims process and pursue fair recovery after catastrophic loss.
