In clients’ words

Had a great lawyer who represented me and was there every step of the way, helping and explaining everything. My case was settled in less than 7 months.
Susy R. · Apr 2021
Karl was great to work with, he took the time to fully understand my case. He was fully prepared during all meetings. His staff was always eager to help when I called and were very professional.

What happens next

After you call.

Most people who contact us have never hired a lawyer. Here is how it usually goes, including when we can’t help, so nothing comes as a surprise.

  1. You tell us

    Call (909) 663-2100 or send a few lines. Calling is the fastest way to reach the legal team.

  2. An attorney reviews it

    What happened, what the law says, what evidence exists. Not every situation is a case we can take; if yours isn’t, we tell you plainly.

  3. If we take it on

    No attorney’s fee unless we recover for you. The firm advances case costs. You see the fee agreement in writing before anything starts.

  4. How a case can go

    Demand, agency filing, lawsuit, arbitration or trial. Many cases settle, some are tried, and some don’t succeed. No lawyer can promise an outcome, and we won’t.

Confidential

Tell us what happened.

Leave your name and number and we’ll call you back. Everything you tell us is confidential.
