Stockton California, home to more than 300,000 people, has several life-blood highways passing through it, including State Route 99, State Route 4, and Interstate 5. These highways allow millions of vehicles every day to travel up and down the west coast and from Stockton to San Francisco and back. With so many cars on the road, accidents are inevitable.

On average there is a fatal auto accident in Stockton once every few weeks. In late February of 2016, a 31-year-old man was killed when his vehicle crashed into a tree on Robert Road. One month before that, on January 29^th, a 53-year-old man was killed on Farmington Road while riding his bicycle in an apparent hit-and-run. And in Early October, 2015, a 16-year-old boy was killed in another hit-and-run on Highway 4 in East Stockton. Non fatal accidents are even more common, causing countless injuries, and millions of dollars in damage to personal property.

After a vehicle accident in Stockton, California, injured individuals and their families often need resources and support. No matter how drastic or severe the collision, it's difficult to recover from the injuries while also dealing with medical bills, damaged property, and insurance claims. Fatal accidents are even more of a burden on families and loved ones as they deal with these problems while coping with their loss.

A car accident lawyer who is familiar with Stockton is a huge benefit in each and every case, especially when it comes to dealing with auto insurance companies.

Stockton has always had a deep resonance in my heart. When I attended Law School, I worked almost full time at my first legal job as a law clerk  at the Stockton County Counsel's Office.

I was lucky to have some great attorney's there who took me under their wing and taught me Trial Law. Mike Garrison, who later became a San Joaquin County judge taught me much. Pat Friedrich was another great Stockton Lawyer who tutored me.

I worked several years in the San Joaquin County Consel's Office and learned the ins and outs of San Joaquin County from experts. That knowledge has served me well as my legal career progressed.

I  also fell in love with a Stockton girl who forever changed my life.

I've handled every kind of personal injury case imaginable in San Joaquin County, from cases involving drunken boaters in the Delta to chain collisions in the fog on I5.

I've worked many cases in Stockton with the world famous mediator, Dan Quinn.

I  love to eat at the Market Tavern or the Abby Trappist Pub and drive down to visit often.

I really do love Stockton and Stocktonians.
