Areas of Practice

A serious injury upends everything at once: treatment, income, and an insurance company working to close your claim for less than it is worth. We represent people and families through that period, in matters from catastrophic injury to wrongful death. Personal injury cases are handled on contingency, and the consultation is free.

• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Commercial Truck Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents
• Wrongful Death
• Hit-and-Run & Uninsured Motorist Claims

When someone is hurt on another's property, the first explanation offered is usually that it was their own fault. What actually decides these cases is what the owner knew, and when. We investigate early, while the camera footage, inspection records, and witnesses still exist.

• Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
• Negligent Security Cases
• Swimming Pool Accidents
• Construction Site Injuries
• Retail and Restaurant Incidents
• Apartment and Hotel Liability

A product that causes serious harm usually leaves a trail: a design choice, a manufacturing flaw, a warning that never reached the label. We follow it through the chain of commerce, from retailer to manufacturer, and we preserve the product and its evidence from the start.

• Defective Automotive Parts
• Medical Device Failures
• Dangerous Pharmaceuticals
• Consumer Product Recalls
• Industrial Equipment Malfunctions
• Food Contamination Cases

An insurance policy is a promise, paid for in advance. When a claim is denied without real investigation, delayed without reason, or paid for less than the policy requires, California law treats that as more than a contract dispute, and the remedies can reach beyond the policy limits.

• Wrongful Claim Denials
• Unreasonable Settlement Delays
• Inadequate Claim Investigation
• Policy Interpretation Disputes
• Coverage Limitation Challenges
• First-Party and Third-Party Claims

Commercial disputes are decided by leverage, and leverage comes from being prepared to try the case. We litigate contract, partnership, and fiduciary matters with the commercial outcome in view. Sometimes that means trial, and sometimes a resolution that lets you get back to business.

• Breach of Contract
• Partnership & Shareholder Disputes
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty
• Business Torts and Fraud
• Trade Secret & Non-Compete Disputes
• Commercial Collections

California consumers have some of the strongest legal protections in the country. We put the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, the Unfair Competition Law, and the Song-Beverly Act, better known as the lemon law, to work for people harmed by deceptive practices, defective vehicles, and abusive collection tactics.

• Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) Claims
• Unfair Competition Law (UCL) Actions
• False Advertising Claims
• Song-Beverly Warranty Act (Lemon Law)
• Auto Fraud & Dealer Misrepresentation
• Debt Collection Violations

A vehicle that keeps going back to the dealer for the same problem is not bad luck. It is a warranty case. When the manufacturer cannot fix a defect in a reasonable number of attempts, the Song-Beverly Act entitles you to a buyback, replacement, or refund, and it makes the manufacturer pay your attorney fees. Keep your repair orders; they make the case.

• Buybacks, Replacements & Refunds
• Repeated Warranty Repair Failures
• New, Used & Leased Vehicles
• 30+ Days Out of Service Claims
• Willful Violation Civil Penalties
• Manufacturer-Paid Attorney Fees
