Standing up for the rights of individuals every day.

Legal Topic

Personal Injury

Preferred New Clients

I stand up for the rights of individuals in personal injury, elder abuse and insurance cases. For bad faith matters and claims I prefer to work with individual policy holders who have had insurance claims wrongfully denied. Regarding elder abuse matters I would like to help elders who have been taken advantage of and injured by their caregivers.

Example Cases

After a negligent driver rear-ended Sonya Schwab's automobile and injured two discs in her neck, '[The other driver's insurance company]...demanded a jury trial and hired an orthopedist, psychologist, and biomechanical engineer to testify that Ms. Schwab's injury was not caused by the collision. Albert discredited each of the insurance company experts and convinced a Marin County jury to find in Sonya's favor.

One client hired Al to represent his son in fights against two separate life insurance companies that had rescinded life insurance benefits and refused to pay on policies the son's uncle had purchased. Al fought the case for over a year in the United States Federal Court and finally convinced both insurance companies to pay.

What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
