Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Personal Injury is not a free-for-all. California law stops most uninsured drivers, for instance, of claiming non-economic pain and suffering damages, even if the other driver was totally at fault. The one exception to this rule is where the other driver was driving while under the influence of alchohol or drugs and is actually convicted of a DUI in connection with the accident.
• Wrongful Death

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  Here is a very brief overview of Personal Injury laws in California. It is, by no means exhaustive, as this is a very complex area of law. The California Civil Code section 1714 sets out the statutory basis for negligence-based injury actions inthe state of California. In part it says...
• Medical Malpractice
  There is also a cap on medical malpractice cases. The Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act places a $250,000 cap on malpractice cases.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  While soem states allow for certain protection from legal liabilityfor dog owners the first time their dog bites or attacks, California law assigns "strict liability" to owners. That means they are legally responsible in most situations where a dog bites. No amount of fault or negligence needs to be shown.

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  We specialize in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The names are derived from the chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code which they apply to.
• Foreclosure
  If you cannot afford to pay your creditors (people or businesses you owe money), bankruptcy help may relieve you of all or part of your debt. Filing bankruptcy also shields you from your creditors’ collection efforts, including foreclosures, lawsuits, garnishments, repossessions and even phone calls.
