I've been practicing law in the Walnut Creek area for the past 25 years.  I am a sole practitioner but have the support and associations with other, larger firms to associate on larger cases with my office when needed.  I've also handled many workers' compensation cases, and am able to handle both the client's injury case and the workers' compensation case so if they are injured on the job by a third-party, they won't need two attorneys.. My experience includes motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian vs. auto accidents, dog bites, trip and falls and slip and fall accidents.  My practice has been 100% plaintiff representation for the past 25 years and am familiar with and can help the client obtain the proper medical care, guide them through the process and recover the best settlement possible.  If settlement isn't a possibility we are ready to go to trial.

I have helped thousands of victims during my career. Going through the process of helping these victims, I have learned what tremendous hardships people are forced to undergo. This makes me a better lawyer as I have a deep understanding of what these victims must endure, which allows me to present their case more effectively to obtain the compensation my clients deserve.. In such cases, many victims and their families have an extremely hard time coping or trying to cope with their injuries, pain and suffering or the loss of a loved one and the hardships that come with it, such as lost wages and a suddenly very uncertain future - in terms of health and/or how to pay bills and make ends meet. These victims need help and I supply that help by taking on the insurance companies and those at fault to get the victim the compensation he or she deserves. This provides the victim with relief from a major source of stress, so he or she can attend to healing, physically, emotionally and mentally.. I persevere in obtaining deserving compensation for those losses, as well as for medical bills, lost wages, future earnings' impairment, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, loss of love, society, affection, and compensation for vocational rehabilitation.. Example cases. Partial paralysis case with disputed liability and victim's vehicle speeding and tailgating.  Multi-million dollar settlement.. Death case with highly disputed liability. Victim's vehicle broke down on a freeway where the victim's vehicle was in the slow lane. Witness saw victim walk into the next lane when victim was struck. Greatly over $1 million settlement.

I began my own law firm in 1989, shortly after the death of my mentor and employer, Robert E. Cartwright Sr., then one of the most prominent plaintiff's attorneys in the U.S. I decided to become a lawyer to help people, generally.
