Placing My Client's Interests First
An attorney representing an injured person or a surviving family member should always behave in a way that recognizes the case is about you - the client - and not the lawyer.
I have practiced law with the same philosophy for my entire career:
- I do not make false promises.
- I always give you a straight answer — even though it may be a difficult answer to hear or not the answer you want.
- My advice and recommendations are based on your best interests, not mine. Whether or not to settle, file a lawsuit, or take a case to trial, I will tell you what I believe is in your best interests.
- I refuse to compromise your lawsuit or my reputation by engaging in conduct that lacks integrity, disrespects the legal system or is insensitive to your needs.
- I vow to work as hard as I can, using all of the experience and resources at my disposal, to obtain the best result possible for you.
Experienced and Successful — But It's Not About Me
I enjoy winning at trial or achieving a significant settlement — because I know it will help an accident victim or family member as they try to move forward with their lives. I enjoy preparing a case for trial — because I understand a fully prepared case can translate into a significant settlement offer. I gain personal and professional satisfaction from being a trial lawyer — because it feels good to make a difference in someone's life.
I enjoy what I do — but my law practice is not about me. It is about your loss, your injury and your recovery. Being a trial lawyer means determining what is in my client's best interests and then designing a strategy to achieve that goal.
Personal Injury Litigation Experience
I have been a trial lawyer since 1988. During that time, I have represented hundreds of personal injury victims, and the families of those who have lost a loved one. Each and every success story provides me with the satisfaction of knowing my client has been fairly compensated for their loss or injury, and reinforces their belief and trust in the civil justice system.
My legal experience includes:
- Litigation success on behalf of those injured or their surviving families
- Publication in professional journals
- Professional recognition and involvement including: Top 10 Attorneys in San Diego Insurance, The Daily Transcript (2009); Local Trial Lawyer Association's President of the Year (2006); Consumer Attorneys of San Diego President's Award (2001); Consumer Attorneys of San Diego Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award (2000), Consumer Attorneys of San Diego Appreciation Award (1998-present), President of the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego (2006) and Board of Directors of the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego (1998-2006)
