Mr. Choe began his career as a workers’ compensation defense attorney. He defended employers and insurance companies against workers’ compensation claims. While successful in that role, Mr. Choe realized that he would rather use his talents and skill to benefit people who were facing tough times — people who had been injured on the job or in an accident, people who had been denied their fair wages and people who had been discriminated against in the workplace. When he switched to doing plaintiff’s work, he brought along with him extensive knowledge of how the insurance companies look at, respond to and value claims. He uses that experience to help him build the strongest possible cases and secure the best possible results for his clients. Let him put that experience and skill to work for you.
