Here are 4 reasons you should choose our law firm:
1) PEACE OF MIND:
Let us help you answer your questions, explain your options, and shoulder the burden so you can get on with your life.
Proper handling of even the most simple injury claim requires legal expertise. When you hire us, we handle all communications with the insurance company, investigate your case, obtain the pertinent medical and employment records, negotiate claims for reimbursement by hospitals or health insurance companies and protect all legal deadlines. We shoulder the burden so you can focus on getting your life back together.
a) WHEN YOU CALL US:
When you call our office to discuss your case, you will speak with an attorney, not just a paralegal or legal assistant. If you would like to chat with an attorney right now, please click here.
b) WHEN YOU VISIT:
When you visit, you will meet with an attorney who will listen to your needs and treat you with kindness and respect. Your will receive honest feedback about your case and all the advice we can give you. There is no charge for the initial meeting and there is no obligation. The attorney you meet with will be your lawyer from that moment until your case resolves. There are no exceptions.
While another attorney in our office may assist in the preparation of your case, rest assured the attorney you meet with will be your attorney until the end. If, for some reason, you do not want the attorney you meet with to handle your case, please let him/her know and you will have the opportunity to meet with another attorney in our office.
If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with a particular attorney, please let us know when you email or call us. We will make every effort to accommodate your request.
c) OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU MATTERS:
The type of relationship you develop with your attorney throughout the pendency of your case is very important. Every case and every client is unique. A major component of your case is what is known as “general damages”, commonly referred to as “pain and suffering”. We refer to this as the “change in the quality of life”--the effect the injuries have had on a client’s recreational activities, household activities, work, activities with their families, etc.
We believe the only way an attorney can demonstrate and effectively communicate this change in the quality of life to an insurance adjustor, mediator, or jury, is to get to know their clients on a personal level. There is simply no substitute for developing this relationship with clients. In our experience, the better we go to know our clients and their family and friends, the better the outcome.

2) EXPERIENCE & RESOURCES:
Trust a law firm with the experience and resources to take your case to trial if necessary.
We have four attorneys in our office who only handle personal injury cases. Three of our lawyers have nearly twenty years experience representing personal injury victims in California. We have handled claims against some of the largest insurance companies and corporations in America, including major automobile manufacturers.
We are leaders in the personal injury field and educate other lawyers. Our attorneys are actively involved in local and state-Wide trial lawyer associations. Mr. Demas was the recent president of the Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association (CCTLA), an organization of approximately 400 hundred personal injury lawyers. While president, he was recognized as the Local Trial Lawyer Association President of the Year by the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), an organization of over 3000 personal injury lawyers.
He still volunteers his time with CCTLA serving on the education committee. In addition, he is on the board of governors and is very active in CAOC.
Mr. Demas and Mr. Rosenthal educate and teach other attorneys and are routinely asked to speak at state-wide seminars on a broad range of personal injury topics.
We have gained a reputation with the insurance companies and defense lawyers as attorneys who actually go to trial. We have a long history of trial success. For instance, John Demas recently obtained one of the largest personal injury verdicts in Sacramento County history ($4,500,000). Mr. Demas was even recently recognized as the Trial Lawyer/Advocate of the Year by the Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association in recognition for his "extraordinary trial results and intrepid work in advocating the rights of consumers."
In addition, our office has been selected as a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an exclusive group of attorneys limited to the Top Trial Lawyers in America as well as The Justice Roundtable, an organization consisting of the 100 of the nation's top personal injury attorneys. Mr. Demas also has a 10/10 rating, the highest possible rating, with the prominent attorney ranking web site, Avvo.com and was recently selected as a Super Lawyer, an honor reserved for less than 5% of all attorneys and less than 1% of personal injury attorneys.
Simply put, our office's extensive trial experience makes a significant difference in the settlement offers we receive compared to other attorneys who do not go to trial. To learn more about our past success and results, please click here.
Because of our history of success, we have the financial resources to go head to head with any defendant and any law firm hired against us. We routinely hire the best experts in the field such as investigators, doctors, vocational rehab counselors, economists, etc. In prior cases, we have invested over $250,000 in costs alone to hire the best scientists and experts in the field.
Our commitment to our clients and dedication to getting them the best result is unparalleled. If you retain our office for your serious injury case, rest assured we will commit all the resources to adequately and aggressively represent you.
3) PROVEN SUCCESS:
Trust a law firm with a track record of large out of court settlements and trial results.
Our office was established nearly twenty year ago. We have earned a reputation with the insurance companies and defense attorneys as attorneys who fight aggressively and honestly for their clients. We are not intimidated by large insurance companies and corporations.
During the course of our careers, we have handled a broad range of case, from the "routine" rear-end collision, to the complex product liability case or catastrophic injury case. We have settled cases and obtained jury verdicts from the thousands of dollars to the multiple millions.

Our office has 2 missions: 1) representing injured victims aggressively, ethically and with personal attention and 2) helping our community stay safe by preventing injury.
We would rather you stay safe and not get injured than have us represent you. In that regard, we publish numerous injury prevention articles and blogs including:
We also donate numerous free safety items primarily to keep our most precious resource, children, safe.
