Personal Injury
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.

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One client hired Al to represent his son in fights against two separate life insurance companies that had rescinded life insurance benefits and refused to pay on policies the son's uncle had purchased.

Client education is very important. This is especially important on smaller cases where the insurance industry has attempted to take advantage of the fact that it can be difficult for people to find attorneys who are willing to work on smaller, yet very important personal injury cases.
In the context of personal injury and insurance claims I am willing to review documents.
I am willing to consult with clients who want to represent themselves.
I don't know why. I just always wanted to be a lawyer. Now after practicing for twelve years. I continue to do it, because I enjoy helping individuals stand up to the insurance industry.
