Defective Pharmaceutical Drugs and Medical Device Lawyer

We learned of a questionable cell phone tax in 2011 in the City of Chula Vista, CA and successfully filed and concluded a California state court class action in 2013 reducing the tax and refunding certain cell phone tax moneys paid by the citizens of the city.

A lawyer competent in the fields in which he practices who is passionate about seeing justice done.

The ability to meet and work with the client personally and perhaps know any local court personnel involved and local defense counsel.

In a free telephone consultation an attorney will likely learn the legal issue involved and determine what the client is seeking and what legal remedies there may be. Accordingly, the attorney may make and convey to the client his/her initial impressions and determine if the claimant may have a legally viable claim and reasonable expectancy.

Experience, reputation, achievements and dedicated client advocacy.

Client success.
