I am the Managing Partner of Mission Legal Center in San Diego, Chula Vista, Carlsbad and El Paso. I have the privilege of advocating on behalf of San Diegans who have been injured in an accident. I love that my job is to fight for those who need help the most while recovering from serious injuries. As an experienced and top-reviewed San Diego personal injury attorney, I’m devoted to raising the bar of excellence in service and advocacy for my clients, and I’m committed to serving the San Diego legal community as a whole. As a result, I am active in the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego and have served as a speaker/seminar presenter. Prior to law school, I studied pre-medicine, which armed me with extensive knowledge of human physiology, which has been immeasurably valuable to my work with injured victims in San Diego. I understand that sometimes very severe injuries may not be visible to the naked eye. For example, brain injuries can wreak havoc on a victim’s cognitive abilities and quality of life, even if they appear to be outwardly “fine” following an accident. Each victim or family member of an injured victim who selects Mission Personal Injury Lawyers will be treated as a member of our family. We return your calls promptly, we make sure you understand every step of the process, and we take the time to explain every step of the personal injury litigation process thoroughly. We also refuse to settle for lowball offers from insurance companies.

Douglas Shaffer practices out of Santa Monica, CA and has been licensed for 34 years. This attorney attended Pepperdine University School of Law and handles cases in Accident & Injury.

For more than 35 years, I have represented people who don’t always have the resources to take on litigation against the big powerful institutions of our society: big corporations, insurance companies and governments. I have the experience, the brains, the chutzpa, the resource and the desire to fight on your behalf. I have represented people in many of California’s counties. I have spent my life in public service because I believe in it. I am passionate about it. My father, David Siegal, was an early organizer and subsequent president of the Hotel and Restaurant Workers’ Union in New York City. He understood that a meaningful quality of life was of the utmost importance. Today, in the pursuit of justice as a personal injury lawyer at Siegal & Richardson, I strive to ensure that no matter what trauma you or your family has experienced, your interests and your quality of life are my priority. My passion for law has allowed me to pursue justice in many significant cases as a personal injury lawyer. One of the first cases that I worked on was with noted Labor and Civil Rights Lawyer, Jerry Garchik; Liu v. Republic of China, a wrongful death case that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Early in my career I also represented several families whose children were sexually assaulted and abused at the Presidio Army Base Day Care Center. I was one of several plantiffs’ lawyers in the case, which involved sixty children. The aforementioned case allowed me to pursue justice against an army Colonel with ties to the Church of Satan. These experiences also gave me the opportunity to work with some of the best lawyers in Northern California, such as Melvin Belli, who throughout his career, won over $600 million dollars for his clients.
