Access to the courts of civil justice, under the American system of tort law, to hold accountable those who have caused injury and harm, no matter how powerful they may be, is the fundamental right of all Americans.

We make your needs my top priority. We will manage all aspects of your case, including complex investigations, vital research, processing of medical bills, contacting insurance companies and engaging in negotiations. From beginning to end, we will guide you through an often intimidating, tedious process of challenging corporations and insurance companies until a fair settlement is reached. We will navigate your claim through the court system and regularly communicate with you regarding your case. As knowledge is power, and as law often changes or is in flux, our Firm's continuing education practices and legal research capabilities and technologies are second to none.

Throughout the years, our hard work and persistence has consistently brought In six- and sometimes seven-figure settlements for our clients who have suffered terrible damages arising out of motor vehicle, train, bus and airline disasters, as well as animal attacks/ dog bites, dangerous and defective conditions in buildings or property, toxic mold damage, swimming pool drowning, negligent handling of firearms, electrical and chemical fires, explosions and gas leakages.

In 1997, our Firm's founding member was inducted as a Life Member into the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, the most prestigious group of trial lawyers in the United States, limited to attorneys who have won multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.

We have been truly blessed to have had the opportunity to serve some wonderful families, and extraordinary clients over the years. As trusted Pasadena trial lawyers, we understand that our success over the years is attributed to the hundreds of clients we have served who will remain in our hearts and minds as a constant source of inspiration and hope.

This inspiration and hope is what continues to motivate us, despite all the negative public relations propaganda directed against trial lawyers like ourselves by the insurance industry, corporate lobbyists seeking tort reform, and sometimes our own political leaders. As America's debate on tort reform continues, we redouble our efforts for all our clients in protecting their rights as individuals to seek fair and just compensation for damages caused by the misconduct or neglect of others, under the law.
