Since 1982 I have practiced personal injury law exclusively. While most injury cases can be settled out of court, I have a long history of taking cases to trial any time it is necessary. Please feel free to see my verdicts and settlements here, testimonials here, and reviews on Yelp, Avvo, and Google. I can be reached at (209) 227-1931 or (800) 404-5400.

We handle cases for literally all types of accidents in Lodi. Cars, trucks, big rigs, SUVs, motorcycles and more.

Sometimes accidents are caused by someone’s negligence, poor vehicle maintenance, or reckless behavior such as driving while distracted or intoxicated. Sometimes vehicles are traveling too fast through roads which may become very foggy during Lodi’s cool winter months. In other cases, some roads are notorious for accidents, such as highway 12.

California State Route 12, sometimes referred to as “blood alley”, is particularly dangerous from Lodi to Rio Vista (and even to Fairfield). The road is busy and often occupied by recreational vehicles and big rigs. Skinny stretches of highway with poor lighting, the lack of dividers, deep ditches instead of shoulders are all some of the things which make accidents all the worse, often resulting in traumatic injuries and fatalities. If you have been injured on this road, Highway 99, or any other road in the area please feel free to contact me for free, friendly advice today.
