From Insurance Defense to Injured Worker Champions

We're Omar Ochoa and William Calderon. From our Riverside office, we fight for workers' compensation, personal injury, and employment law clients across Southern California.

We used to represent insurance companies and major corporations, and we know exactly how they think because we helped create their playbooks. Now we use that insider knowledge exclusively for injured workers. Every denied claim, every lowball offer, every delay tactic — we've seen it all from both sides, and we know how to beat it.

When you work with us, you're not just another case number. You're someone who deserves to heal without worrying about bills piling up. That's why we take your fight personally.

Two Partners, 40 Years of Combined Legal Firepower

We didn't always work together, but looking back, it seems like we were always meant to. Our paths to partnership tell the story of why we're different from other firms, and why that difference matters for your case.

  • The Foundation: 2015

    Our firm's story began when Omar founded the Law Office of Omar Ochoa in 2015. After years of representing Fortune 500 companies and insurance giants, he'd seen enough. He knew how these companies operated from the inside, including their strategies, their weaknesses, and their pressure points. It was time to use that knowledge to help the people who needed it most. In 2021, William joined as a partner, creating Ochoa & Calderon and bringing his own two decades of experience making insurance companies pay.

  • Unique Backgrounds, 
United Purpose

    Between us, we've recovered over $200 million for clients — $100 million each throughout our individual careers. Omar brings the insider's view from his years in corporate defense. He sat in those boardrooms, wrote those denial strategies, and knows exactly what insurance companies fear most. William, a UCLA undergraduate and USC Law graduate, built his reputation by forcing fair settlements when insurance companies said no. Together, we're the team insurance companies hoped you'd never find.

  • Why Our Past Matters 
to Your Future

    We don't just know the law, we know their secrets. We've been in the meetings where they discuss minimizing payouts. We've seen the training videos about denying claims. And now, we use those secrets to win justice for people facing a personal injury, a debilitating work accident, or unlawful workplace discrimination. When insurance adjusters see our names on your case, they know we won't fall for their usual tactics. They know we speak their language.

    Most importantly, they know we won't stop until you get what you deserve.

Millions Recovered for Clients

Employment Law

$650,000

Our client faced a hostile work environment due to sexual harassment. We took decisive action to hold the employer accountable, securing a settlement that provided justice and financial recovery.

Workers' Compensation

$2,150,000

After suffering a work-related embolism, our client's claim was wrongly denied by the insurance company. We built a powerful case, forcing the insurer to provide the substantial compensation our client deserved.

Workers' Compensation

100% PERMANENT TOTAL DISABILITY

After a serious on-the-job motor vehicle accident, we took our client's case to trial to secure the full benefits they were owed. Our determined litigation resulted in a decision of 100% permanent disability, ensuring lifetime benefits for our client.
