He obtained $5 million for two mine workers severely injured when a coupling failed on a construction boom. He obtained a successful result while on appeal in 1992 in a case that marked the first trial of a nursing home abuse case following the expansion of the law governing available damages for nursing home residents. In the mid 1990’s, Mr. Stern fashioned a settlement of a road design case in Moreno Valley that not only saw a wrongful death recovery for the parents of a 16 year old student killed while riding his bicycle to school, but resulted in a 10 year acceleration of the then new city’s general plan for installation of bicycle lanes that have undoubtedly saved many lives since those lanes were constructed..

I have always felt that it is MY job to worry the claim or lawsuit from start to finish. My clients can be concerned about, and interested in their claim or lawsuit, but the worry is MY job. This makes for the best partnership between lawyer and client, and is one of the most important things a lawyer can give to a client.. Over the course of almost 30 years as a lawyer, I have become not just an advocate, but also a counselor and friend to many of my clients. Our firm not only gives our clients the best, experienced representation, but also,a chance to recover what "the system" has taken away.
