For over 20 years, I built a successful law practice defending insurance companies and their clients in serious personal injury cases. Then, I had a profound realization. In 2008, I sat as a juror on a murder trial in Oakland, California. It gave me a new perspective on our justice system. When it was over, I knew I needed to make a change. Rather than defend big insurance, I knew I had to fight for people who have been seriously injured and need my help.. I don’t regret the time I spent “working behind enemy lines.” Because I have been on the other side, I know how to beat my opponents at their own game. Now, I use this insight to help my clients win.. I am a former college athlete, having swam and played water polo for the Golden Bears at UC Berkeley. My swimming career has given me invaluable strength and bravery when battling huge corporations with limitless resources..

DID YOU KNOW?. Actual or Compensatory Damages are intended to compensate for injuries or death. Compensation means "to balance the scales"—to match the amount of money with each of the harms and losses that the injury has caused.  Losses from injury may include the past, present and future loss of earnings, past and future medical expenses; long or short term mental disabilities, such as injuries to the brain resulting in loss of IQ, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, attention problems, hyperactivity; long or short term physical disabilities, such as paralysis, fractures, burns, cancer; disfigurement; the loss of capacity to enjoy life, lost opportunity, an increased risk of harm, and the pain, suffering, and mental anguish caused by these losses and the injury that was suffered.. Punitive Damages are included in a Jury Verdict to deter the responsible defendant and others from continuing or repeating similar wrongful conduct in the future. They are designed to punish for the great risk of potential harm caused by the defendant’s actions. In many states, 50% of the net verdict for Punitive Damages goes directly to the state's Victims Compensation Fund with the other half going to the plaintiff. The plaintiff’s portion is typically taxable income.
