Practice Areas

Personal Injury

Our civil justice system requires that people and organizations pay money to compensate for harms and losses that they cause through their intentional or careless conduct. These include “financial” harm, such as wage loss and medical expenses, and “human” harm, such as pain, suffering, and emotional distress. Similarly, someone who causes death as a result of his or her negligent or intentional conduct, must compensate certain family members of the deceased for their losses.

Civil Rights

The Constitutions of the United States and the State of California contain many provisions that protect us against certain government action. An individual whose rights have been violated is often allowed to seek compensation from the government through a civil lawsuit. Because there are specific rules that apply to these cases, it is especially important to seek guidance from a civil rights attorney.
