Car Accidents
Our firm specializes in representing victims of car accidents, including rear-end collisions, DUI crashes, and multi-vehicle pileups. We handle insurance disputes and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. With decades of experience, we ensure clients receive fair settlements for injuries ranging from whiplash to catastrophic trauma.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders face unique risks on California roads. We advocate for victims of negligent drivers, securing compensation for severe injuries like spinal trauma and road rash. Our team understands the biases against motorcyclists and works aggressively to counter insurance company tactics that minimize settlements.
Premises Liability
We hold property owners accountable for unsafe conditions causing slip-and-fall accidents, dog bites, and inadequate security incidents. Our attorneys prove negligence in cases involving commercial properties, rental units, and public spaces to recover costs for medical treatment and long-term care.
Wrongful Death
Families grieving loss from fatal accidents receive compassionate representation. We pursue justice against negligent parties in car crashes, nursing home abuse, and workplace fatalities, ensuring compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional distress.
Sexual Assault
Survivors of sexual assault receive confidential support while we build cases against perpetrators and institutions. We secure settlements covering therapy, lost earnings, and punitive damages in cases involving hospitals, schools, and private facilities.

If you are involved in a car accident in or around Greater Los Angeles, you couldn't find a better team of personal injury attorneys to represent you. They go above and beyond for their clients and help obtain maximum compensation in motor vehicle collision cases. They are well known to auto insurance companies and have a great reputation that has been established over 20 years. They have recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for people injured in car, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents. They offer free consultations and never charge any fees until the case is won

I really appreciate all that Steve and Josh did for my son. They came to the hospital (personally) to talk to him, check on him and find out about the accident. They then went to work and got what I thought was a very fair amount. They made sure that his bills were paid and would be paid for all the treatment that he needed. They kept me informed throughout the case and were very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who has been in an accident and has been injured and needs help from honest, caring attorneys.

Thank you so much for helping my son. You were referred by a good friend who said you did a great job on their car accident case. The other attorney told us we didnt have a case because the Police Report went against us. You convinced the insurance company that, despite what the report said, the other driver should have seen my son in the middle of the road on his bike. They finally agreed to settle for the full policy limits. My son was able to get the treatment he needed and is now back in good health and playing sports again with his high school. You are a great lawyer!

These guys are the hardest working attorneys in the world. They made me feel human again after a horrendous injury. I always felt comfortable with them and they kept me informed and updated on my case the whole time it was going.
