About Michael
I started this firm more than 11 years ago bringing with me the same values that I had at the Cochran Firm. I wanted to help people, regular everyday folks that suffered injustice. I wanted to build a law firm being the very best trial lawyer in the country to help protect people.
And I wanted to ensure that this office did something every day to make this world a better place for all of us, including my child and your loved ones. I am very proud to say that it's what this firm has been able to do.
What makes this office different than other law offices is that I am a trial lawyer. This office is set up to go to trial on behalf of our clients and I do it all the time. I am the type of lawyer that gets in front of the jury and asks for justice. And the results prove that I do it well.
I have put together a team second to none. I'm a member of The National Trial Lawyers, Top 100 Trial Lawyers, I'm ranked 10 Best in California, and I’m ranked 3 Best Southern California. From top to bottom this office strives to be the very best in the courtroom. I'm very proud of what this office does every day.
Fees are based upon an hourly rate of $325.
