I'll tell you straight whether you have a case
I'll tell you straight whether you have a case. If you do, I bring in a trial lawyer and I stay on it — because a case that can't go to trial has no leverage.
I take the cases the big firms won't.
Start a case review call
Talk it through. On a case review call, I go through the facts with you: what happened, when, whether you were hurt, whether anyone represents you, and how to reach you. It is not legal advice, and I will not put a value on your claim.

How this works
- Conflict check, then a case review call. A few questions to confirm there is no conflict, then a straight conversation about the facts.
- An honest assessment. I tell you whether the case holds up and where it is weak. If it does not, you hear that.
- If it does, a trial lawyer comes in. A second firm joins for trial. You sign one agreement, I split the fee with them without adding to your cost, and I stay counsel of record. How the co-counsel model works.
Not sure a lawyer will take your case?

Common questions
- What kind of cases do you take?
- I take personal injury and wrongful death in California — car, truck, rideshare, motorcycle, pedestrian, and bicycle collisions, premises liability, and dog bites — plus claims against government agencies. See "What I take and what I don't."
- What happens on a case review call?
- I go through the facts with you: what happened, when, whether you were hurt, whether anyone represents you, and how to reach you. It is not legal advice, and I will not put a value on your claim. Sending a request does not create an attorney-client relationship until you and I sign a written agreement.
- Does it cost anything to ask?
- No. The case review call is free. If I take the case, "How this works" explains the fee.
