We take care of your client
When a personal injury matter falls outside your practice, or you would rather not handle it yourself, you can refer it to us. We work with law firms and solo practitioners throughout Southern California.
We can take over the entire case, from investigation through settlement negotiations and, when needed, trial. Your client works directly with one of our attorneys, and we keep you informed as the case moves forward.
We also accept estate planning referrals. Estate plans are a flat fee, quoted in writing before any work begins, and the consultation is free.
Cases we accept
Car, truck, and motorcycle crashes
Bicycle and pedestrian injuries
Dog bites
Slips, trips, and falls
Wrongful death
Estate planning

Common questions
About referrals
Do you pay referral fees?
Yes. Fee divisions follow California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5.1: a written agreement between the lawyers, the client’s written consent after full written disclosure of the division, and no increase in the total fee because of it.
What does the client pay?
Injury clients pay no fee and no costs unless we recover. The referral does not increase the client’s fee.
Are there cases you do not take?
Yes. We do not handle medical malpractice cases.
Where do you accept cases?
Throughout Southern California, including Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, and San Diego Counties. Our office is in Corona.
