I attend Continuing Legal Education Seminars on topics of personal injury and settlement negotiations.

In one case that 4 other law firms rejected, the client had suffered serious injuries in a car accident with disputed liability. I was able to settle with the defendant insurance company for more than $650,000, which was put in a structured settlement that would pay my client over $1.9 million over his lifetime.

Another case involved a passenger on a cruise line who became sick and then fell into a coma. I went to Greece to take 8 depositions from the Captain, Cruise Line President, Ship Designer and others. We found enough circumstantial evidence to show e-coli poisoning must have caused the serious injuries and settled with the Cruise Line for over $600,000.

Another case rejected by 6 law firms involved police brutality, in which we tracked down, through a lengthy investigation, a viable witness. We settled in court against the city for over $1.2 million dollars put into a structured settlement to pay my client over $2.6 million for his future care and medical bills.

We have been helping people for the past 30 years in personal injury matters to obtain maximum compensation against insurance companies. We offer our clients, whether a large or small case, experienced and aggressive legal representation so that each client can obtain the best financial resolution available. I personally meet with every client and we pride ourselves on providing personal attention to every client.

We specialize in handling auto, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, boat, train, plane, dog bites and animal attacks, slip and fall, defective product, construction site accidents, scars, fractures, herniated discs, soft tissue and wrongful death injuries that occur from them. As part of our service we negotiate either waivers or significant reductions of the medical bills and insurance reimbursements for our clients. We also advance all the legal costs from the case on our client's behalf.

Prior to opening my own offices I was a law clerk for the President of the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association where I obtained an immense amount of knowledge in how to successfully operate an office and represent injured individuals.

Since we have only handled personal injury cases over the past 30 years, all of our fees are contingent, which means if there is no recovery—there is no fee, and we advance all the legal costs.

Contingency fee basis only.

Yes.

There is no retainer since we have handled every case for the past 30 years on a contingency fee basis. We advance all the legal costs, so no retainer would apply.
