As former in-house counsel at Safeco Insurance now representing accident victims across Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Encino, North Hollywood, and Reseda, I know exactly how insurers build a case to minimize what they pay you, and I use that knowledge to fight for what your case is actually worth.

Dedicated Representation for Valley Accident Victims

Accidents in the Valley—from Van Nuys to North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks to Encino—can leave you facing medical bills and lost income. I take on the legal work so you can focus on healing. I offer free consultations and no fee unless I win. At my office, you’ll always speak directly with me.

I Used to Work for the Insurance Companies

If you've already heard from an insurance company, there's a good chance they offered you a fast settlement before you even knew how serious your injuries were. That's not an accident. I spent years on the other side of the table as an insurance defense attorney, and I know exactly how adjusters build a file to make a low offer look reasonable.

I use that same insider knowledge against the insurance companies now, on behalf of the people they're trying to lowball. Here's what I watch for on every Valley case I take:

• Offering a quick settlement before medical treatment is finished, so the payout looks smaller in hindsight
• Requesting a recorded statement early, then using your own words to shrink the claim
• Disputing whether an injury is even related to the accident, even when it clearly is
• Pointing to gaps in treatment to argue the injury wasn't serious
• Delaying a fair offer until financial pressure pushes you to settle for less



When you call my office, you speak with me. Not a case manager, not an assistant. Every Valley case I take gets my personal attention from the first call through the final settlement or verdict.

Where Accidents Happen Most in the San Fernando Valley

I see the same patterns over and over across the Valley. Car and truck accidents cluster on the 101 and 405 freeways and on busy surface streets like Van Nuys Boulevard, Ventura Boulevard, and Sherman Way. Slip and falls, dog bites, and pedestrian accidents tend to follow the Valley's mix of dense apartment complexes, shopping centers, and residential side streets.

• Rear-end and intersection collisions on high-traffic corridors like Ventura Boulevard and Van Nuys Boulevard
• Freeway accidents on the 101 and 405 involving sudden lane changes or speeding
• Slip and fall injuries at Valley shopping centers, restaurants, and apartment complexes
• Dog bites in residential neighborhoods throughout Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, and Reseda
• Pedestrian accidents near busy intersections and shopping corridors like Sherman Way



Whatever caused your accident, I investigate it thoroughly to prove negligence and build the strongest case for fair compensation.

Personal Injury Help in Your San Fernando Valley Community

Every part of the Valley has its own roads, its own pace, and its own way that insurance companies handle local claims, and I've built my practice around that. Whether your accident happened in Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood, Encino, Reseda, Panorama City, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, or West Hills, you get the same direct, hands-on representation I give every client.

When a Valley case doesn't settle, it's often filed at Van Nuys Superior Court, and I know how that courthouse handles personal injury claims, from filing through trial.
