Top Rated Trial Lawyer with Over 28 Years Experience
Protecting the Rights of the Injured

Since 1983, I have been a trial lawyer recognized for protecting the rights and addressing the needs of injured men, women and children. Personal injuries can have a devastating effect on people and on their families. It is my job to help you recover, and to maximize the financial compensation you deserve for your economic losses and your pain and suffering. I am tenacious and resourceful in negotiating settlements and in trying cases to verdict. But there is a lot more to litigation and the recovery process than dollars and cents.

Contact me today if you need legal assistance with any of the following:

In our legal system, an injured person cannot expect an apology from wrongdoers.  Worse than that, large insurance companies and government entities can make the recovery process even harder; bullying people who have already been injured so that they will give up and go away. Commonly, defense attorneys will take the offensive, trying to make an innocent victim look like the bad guy.  My job is to fight for you and protect your interests. I was a wrestler in college, and I worked for one of the greatest judges in American history.  I do not get intimidated.

I maintain offices in San Luis Obispo, California and Seattle, Washington. I serve the Central Coast of California, including the following counties: San Luis Obispo; Santa Barbara, Ventura, Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito, Santa Clara and San Mateo.
