In between, John was named an Academic All American football player for the University of San Diego’s Toreros. He clerked for a federal judge, worked for the international law firm of Latham & Watkins and served the United States as an Assistant United States Attorney until becoming a trial lawyer for people in 2000.. Since that time, he has established himself as one of California’s most recognized and accomplished trial lawyers. Lawyers USA named him the national Lawyer of the Year in 2010.

A prolific trial lawyer, John has tried to jury verdict more than 50 separate cases. He has obtained verdicts in excess of $1,000,000, $10,000,000 and $100,000,000. Perhaps most notably, John has obtained 6 separate jury verdicts of one million dollars or more in which the defendant offered absolutely nothing to settle prior to trial..

John created the Firm’s dedicated brain injury practice team and, along with Partner Jessica Sizemore, continues to lead that practice group today. John is regularly invited to lecture to other attorneys regarding brain injury cases and has done so to attorney groups nationally in excess of 50 times.. Among John’s significant trial results are a $106 million wrongful death jury verdict arising out of San Diego’s infamous “American Beauty Murder,” a $16.5 million jury verdict against El Pollo Loco for a slip and fall, and a $10.8 million jury verdict against Pizza Hut among many others.
