SAN FRANCISCO — A parade of law firms big and small have responded to Pacific Grove’s call for help as the city works to get a handle on its growing budget deficit.

It has recently received eight pitches, from behemoths like Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, Cooley Godward Kronish and Morrison & Foerster, and from smaller, more regional shops such as Best Best & Krieger, McNutt Law Group and Renne Sloan Holtzman Sakai.
