When you retain me as your attorney, the first thing you will notice is that I am a good attentive listener. As your case progresses you will find me to be a determined and persistent advocate on your behalf.. I offer my clients a superior alternative to the big personal injury firms who take on your case, never return your phone calls, settle quickly for a low amount, and then move on to the next case.. In 2015 and 2016, working with Sarah Lawrence, I have recovered personal injury settlements of $200,, $155,, $119,, $83,, $ 50, and more. I secured these settlements using time, training, effort, and intelligence.. Most importantly, however, I reach my results through zealous advocacy. My philosophy for each client is “never leave any money on the table.” However, I am attentive and responsive to my individual clients’ needs.

Practice Areas: Personal Injury
For my entire career, I have been an advocate and negotiator and have achieved excellent results at trial, arbitration, and mediation. I have worked on difficult cases involving catastrophic injuries and fatalities arising from car collisions, truck accidents, plane crashes, product defects, and bicycle crashes. I began my career representing residents of a Bay Area neighborhood that was severely damaged by a flood and resulting landslide. The matter went to a jury trial and my clients prevailed.. I fight vigorously for my clients in the courtroom, at deposition, and when preparing legal briefs. I enjoy getting to know my clients and their families and helping them navigate the legal system. I use my experience as a former defense attorney to present claims in a way that connects with insurers and maximizes my clients' compensation.. I volunteer at Balboa High School’s Law Academy where I teach juniors about the legal system, their rights, and how they can use the law to change their community. I am also a board member and volunteer attorney at the Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals (CCLP) in the Bayview-Hunter’s Point neighborhood of San Francisco where I conduct free legal help sessions for individuals who cannot afford legal representation.. When not representing clients, I enjoy biking, running, and exploring California with my wife and son.

Rick was admitted to the California State Bar in 1974, and has since built a very successful personal injury practice..

As an attorney and executive with extensive experience in the public and private sectors, Stephen has practiced law for over 25 years representing individuals in personal injury and mass torts cases and consumers in class action lawsuits. Stephen has received rating of AV Preeminent from Martindale Hubbell, the highest ranking of professional excellence from a lawyer's peers.. Over the course of his legal career, Stephen has represented consumers in class action lawsuits against major national banks and credit card companies for imposing improper late and overlimit fees and promoting and selling worthless add-on products. Stephen also represented home owners in litigation against the leading title insurance companies in California. Settlements in the cases brought a total of $50 million for consumers, and resulted in industry-wide changes in the providing of escrow services.. Serving as special counsel for the State of California, multiple California counties and the City and County of San Francisco, Stephen investigated a half-century of efforts by the tobacco industry to promote smoking by teenagers as part of the multi-state litigation against the tobacco industry. He deposed senior tobacco marketing executives and succeeded in obtaining the production of documents from R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. (RJR) on current marketing programs. The documents produced by RJR included its infamous "Project SCUM" campaign.. Upon the successful conclusion of the historic litigation, Stephen drafted a lengthy letter to California Attorney General Bill Lockyer calling for him to bring an enforcement action against RJR for advertising in magazines with a high teen readership. The Attorney General filed a lawsuit against RJR in 2001. Three years later, a settlement was reached requiring RJR to pay a $17 million fine and cease its advertising in magazines with a teen audience of 15% or more of its readers.. Today, Stephen serves as Of Counsel at the Dolan Law Firm. He directs the firm's marketing efforts and actively participates in the investigation and review of new cases involving serious personal injuries, bicycle, motorcycle and vehicle accidents, employment discrimination and wrongful termination, elder abuse and neglect, and fraud against the government (False Claims Act and whistleblower cases).. Stephen is a frequent speaker on topics related to legal marketing. He served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Consumer Attorneys of California from 2007 to 2015, and remains an active member of the organization. From 2010 through 2014, Stephen held elective office as the Mayor of San Leandro, spearheading the transformation of the city into a new center of innovation in the San Francisco Bay Area
