Section 3: Practice Areas & Services
Primary Focus: Workers' compensation is the firm's core area, handled alongside personal injury and employment law. Because all three areas sit under one roof, the firm reviews whether a single work incident supports more than one claim — for example, a workplace injury caused by a third party (a personal injury claim) or followed by retaliation (a Labor Code 132a claim).
Core Services:

Target Audience: Employees injured on the job in California where the employer carries workers' compensation insurance; people hurt in vehicle, workplace, or premises accidents; and workers facing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. The firm serves English- and Spanish-speaking clients.
Competitive Advantage: Both partners spent years on the insurance-defense side before switching to represent claimants, so they know carrier claim-handling practices firsthand. The firm combines workers' compensation, personal injury, and employment law, which lets it pursue overlapping claims from one incident. Over their careers the partners have recovered more than $200 million for clients combined ($100 million+ each). Fees are contingency-based, with no fee charged unless the firm recovers. Intake and case communication are handled in English and Spanish.
