Firm: Lem Garcia Law

My name is Lemuel Garcia (call me Lem), and I was born and raised in Southern California. My parents came to the United States from the Philippines to give their three sons (I'm the youngest) better opportunities. My dad was a civil engineer and my mom ran her own hair salon. We didn't have much money growing up, but we had a lot - we had each other.. I can't say that I always wanted to be a lawyer, but I can say that I always wanted to help other people and make my parents proud of me. This hasn't changed at all. I'm proud to be a personal injury lawyer and help people when they really need someone they can trust to do what is best for them.. I opened Lem Garcia Law soon after law school so I could be of service to others without having to answer to anyone else. I wanted to have the opportunity to take cases big and small and to make decisions without just thinking about how much money the office will be making. Essentially, I can treat others the way that I would like to be treated.. With this principle in mind, and the outstanding staff to see it through, I am proud to say that Lem Garcia law has grown into a law firm with an outstanding reputation for excellent results and fantastic service.. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters. If there's any time left over, you can find me at the gym playing basketball or lifting weights.

Firm: Accident Lawyer of California, P.C.

I started my legal career many years ago with the Orange County District Attorney, where I was first exposed to the legal world as an intern. It fascinated me watching the ADA's and DA, build cases, gather the facts, and pursue justice through the law. That was when I knew I wanted to become an attorney.. I later graduated from University of California, Irvine, with a Bachelors in the Social Sciences with an emphasis on Political Science. After UCI, I decided that I wanted to go to Law School. After much deliberation I decided I wanted to stay close to home and decided to attend Trinity Law School. Once I graduated and took the bar it was time to send out resumes. After only a couple weeks of interviews I got a call and was asked to start working at the Accident Attorneys' Group in Newport Beach, California. I spent a year and a half at Accident Attorneys' Group learning the personal injury field, moving up from a legal assistant, to a case manage, and then associate attorney.. I later decided to move my career to Los Angeles, where I was hired by The Law Offices of Burg & Brock (a personal injury law firm) as the Managing Attorney of the firm. At the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, I not only learned more about the ins and outs of personal injury law, I successfully managed and handled 1000 + cases from start to close. I also dealt with any and all client issues personally and successfully.. Then I realized that it was time to start my own practice and personally help the victims of personal injury accidents.
