Richard C. Bennett cofounded Bennett & Johnson, LLP in 1975. He received his legal education from the University of San Francisco, where he earned his Juris Doctorate, and holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Rick was admitted to the California State Bar in 1974, and has since built a very successful personal injury practice.. If two things can be said about Rick, it is that he treats his clients as if they were his own family members, and that he is at the same time thorough, tenacious, and tough. He is defined by his compassion, respect, and high professional and ethical standards, which are critical to effective legal representation.. Since launching the firm, Rick has successfully arbitrated, tried to verdict, and settled countless cases on behalf of his clients amounting to more than half a million dollars. He rises to the challenge when clients come to him with seemingly impossible cases, including those rejected by other firms for being too expensive or difficult to prosecute. His knowledge, skill, and experience have allowed him to secure some of the highest personal injury awards for cases in Solano, Orange, Kern, Fresno, Santa Barbara, Napa, Alameda, San Francisco, and Los Angeles Counties.. In addition to his accomplishments in his legal career, Rick is also a popular instructor and lecturer in areas of legal education including discovery, professional civility, mediation, trial tactics, traumatic brain injury litigation, and products liability..

My professional relationships with my clients are hands-on, friendly, and personal. I pride myself on being someone clients can relate to and trust. I encourage clients to call whenever they have questions. I think every client should choose an attorney with whom they feel comfortable, and who gives clear, intelligent answers to their questions. I have tried many cases to juries in numerous Bay Area counties, as well as to judges and arbitrators. I achieve good settlements in most cases, but do not hesitate to go to court when necessary to get what's fair for my client.

Many people ask "Why did your become a trial lawyer?". I grew up in simpler times. There was more of the feeling of "helping the other guy" and "care for those less fortunate." As a child in the 1950s and 1960s I was surrounded by organizations that embodied that spirit and philosophy, from the Red Cross to the March of Dimes to Good Will to United Way. Organizations dedicated to help those less fortunate.. I watched televison about trial lawyers, Perry Mason, The Defenders and other shows in which lawyers represented the downtrodden and underdogs.. Living in a lower middle class city environment and growing up in apartments, I quickly learned how difficult it was for regular people to "get justice.". As a child, I remember the story our black mail man told us. His son had been injured and he rushed him to the hospital and they refused to treat his son because of insurance issues. Fortunately the boy did not die and he ultimately got care. But some events did not have happy endings. One of our neighbors was shot and killed because of poor security. My best friend’s dad died of undiagnosed cardiac condition my friend and I were 5 or 6 and his dad was in his 30s. Two young friends who lost their lives on a rafting trip because of unsafe equipment. A neighbor whose child died by drowning in an unprotected swimming pool.. I learned at a young age that bad things happen to good people. I also learned that a lot of my friends and neighbors lives were changed dramatically and forever because of events. Most did not have resources or access to good legal advice. I often thought why can’t they get a Perry Mason to help them. Ah the musing of a child. But these events, motivated me to envision a future in which I could help others in their time of need. In the coming decades I decide to go to college, the second in my family and attend law school.. Many years (decades) later while at Whittier College School of Law, I found that I was intrigued by case law that protected the rights of the injured. I participated in Law Review and advocacy classes. Quickly I realized I had a talent for trial work and that is wanted to do. Following graduation I went to work for senior trial attorneys. And soon I found myself trying personal injury cases and participating in trying medical malpractice cases.. It wasn't long before I became a junior partner. We handled all types of complex personal injury cases such as medical malpractice, product liability, sports injuries, head injuries and catastrophic automobile injuries. Through the handling and successful conclusion of these cases, I learned that not only did we recover compensation for clients but often defendants changed the way they did things to prevent injuries in the future. Litigation led to changes for the better, a safer world.. Through the years as a trial lawyer I have been exposed to many types and varieties of complex personal injury cases. I have successfully tried to verdict a great variety of complex tort cases.. If I can help you in any way, even if only to discuss your case and give you some ideas and input as to your options, I would be happy to do so. Please do not hesitate to contact me.. I always enjoy speaking to potential clients and trying to assist them. Thank you. Please call. I look forward to hearing from you.

"Being an attorney is the best career in the world. An attorney has the chance to make a real difference in the life of another person. In my years as an attorney I have seen many people whose lives have been derailed by their injuries, who feel that they have no choice, but to live day to day on the sidelines due to their disability. We who have had the privilege of a legal education have an obligation to help, and if we don’t, then nobody’s going to do it.". Rich Gagliano, Esq.

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.
