Awards and Recognitions

When It Comes To Getting Outstanding Results For Our Clients, There Is No Substitute For EXPERIENCE, PASSION, DEDICATION, And TWO DECADES of Cases and Trials…


 

Our clients get great results because when it comes to practicing law, we are unwilling to settle for second best.

To help make sure our clients are successful with their cases, we consistently apply, on a daily basis, our secret formula to success.  It goes something like this…

“On a daily basis, we work very hard to do our best to represent our clients’ important interest. Without exception, we show up in court fully prepared and ready to go. We’re passionate about putting our more than two decades of reputation and experience to work so that our clients’ get the results they are entitled to!”

In the practice of law, the “end result” is always important.  At the same time, we believe how you get to that end result is equally important.  Smart decisions, excellent legal skills, and strong ethics are critical to long term success in our profession. With these thoughts in mind, we share the following “third party” ratings and awards we’ve received over the years.  We invite you to check us out and listen to this short audio to learn more about our high ratings…

Perfect AVVO ratingAvvo Rating- “Superb” 10.0 out of 10.0

The Avvo Rating represents an independent, third party evaluation of a lawyer’s ability, reputation and general background experience.   The rating is calculated using a mathematical model developed by Avvo which considers the information shown in a lawyer’s profile, including a lawyer’s years in practice, disciplinary history, professional achievements and industry recognition – all factors that, in Avvo’s opinion, are relevant to assessing a lawyer’s qualifications.

Orange County personal injury and wrongful death lawyersSouthern California Super Lawyer

In selecting attorneys for Super Lawyers, Law & Politics employs a rigorous, multiphase process.   Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research.   Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selections are made on an annual, state-by-state basis.

The objective is to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel.  Since Super Lawyers is intended to be used as an aid in the selection of a lawyer, we limit the list to attorneys who can be hired and retained by the public, i.e., lawyers in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.

Consumer Attorneys of California

We are proud to me members of the Consumer Attorneys of California.   An organization of more than 3,000 attorneys who represent plaintiffs/consumers who seek responsibility from wrongdoers…

  • Consumers injured or killed by defective products or drugs;
  • People who suffer discrimination because of age, gender, disability or race;
  • Those injured or killed because of another’s negligent acts;
  • Citizens whose civil rights have been violated;
  • Workers who have been fired unjustly or injured on the job;
  • Investors and others wronged by financial institutions (including failed savings and loans);
  • Insureds whose lives fall apart when an insurance company acts in bad faith and in violation of its own contract;
  • Patients who have been damaged personally and financially by negligent professionals.

Injured consumers need to know that in most instances, the person the CAOC member represents faces an opponent with far more power and access to resources: polluters, governments, big corporations, insurance companies, automobile manufacturers, and banks.  CAOC members take cases they view as worthy, invest their own resources in developing and taking such cases to court, often over a several year period, and are paid only from those cases which are successful.
