I have dedicated my law practice, which I've owned for the last 45 years, to representing victims of vehicular accidents and other forms of negligence, and representing police officers, firefighters, and other sworn public safety officers injured or killed in the line of duty (workers' compensation, for SWORN personnel, only).
I have represented over 5,000 sworn, public safety officers, from more than 75 different agencies at the state, county and local levels, in their workers' compensation and/or personal injury and wrongful death claims.
I spent 6 years as a Military Policeman in the Army National Guard in the 1970s, graduating 4th in my class of 144 MPs in the U.S. Army Military Police School at Fort Gordon, GA, in Dec. 1971, and have always been keenly interested in, and supportive of, police work and those who serve in it (as well as the Fire Service.)
Some of my staff of over 20 people have worked for me for over 30 years, and we have a lot of expertise and continuity on both my support staff and the professional staff (attorneys and paralegals) who work for me.
I have for many years, been a member of the Board of Directors of the California Applicants' Attorneys Association (CAAA), the statewide bar association of the claimants' attorneys, with over 1000 members. We not only fight for the rights and benefits of injured workers in the courts, but I have also lobbied several times in the State Capitol in Sacramento, to achieve legislative improvements in the workers' compensation laws of this state.

Allan and his team went above and beyond to make sure that my case was handled and they settled on my behalf without having to go to arbitration. Great and positive results.

"Alan was on of the first few attorneys I became acquainted with when I first started practicing Workers’ Comp about 10 years ago. His extraordinary knowledge and mastery in this area of law was incredible, and I knew from that moment if there’s anyone who could ever be a true mentor in this field, it was him. His deep concern and dedication to helping injured policemen and firefighters is commendable and his kind big heart felt in everything he says and does. It has been my honor to call Alan my mentor, colleague and good friend! I endorse this lawyer."
"Alan is truly committed to representing his clients at the highest level possible. He is a passionate advocate for his clients and will fight to ensure his clients are receiving all of the benefits to which they are entitled. He is a very active and essential member of the Board of Directors of the California Applicant's Attorneys Association, an organization with a goal to improve the lives of all injured workers. He is a great listener, is very insightful and is genuinely interested in helping others. Any client who hires Alan is in great hands and can have confidence that they are getting one of the brightest, most diligent, and toughest attorneys in the community. I can wholeheartedly endorse Alan!"
"Over the years that I have had the pleasure of knowing Alan, he has demonstrated himself as a very bright and caring attorney who works extremely hard on behalf of the injured workers he represents. As a fellow Board member for the California Applicants' Attorneys Association, I have witnessed Alan’s steadfast commitment to not only his clients, but to our shared mission of reforming the workers’ compensation system in California."
"Rarely do you find someone who is not only excellent at what they do, but how they do it. I have been fortunate enough to know Alan professionally, as well personally. He handled a close friend’s case when he lost his father. The pain that a family goes through is unimaginable and Alan is not only a tireless advocate for his clients, but also expresses his empathy in a way that transcends the traditional notion of an attorney-client relationship, to one where his clients truly know that he is invested in their future. I fully recommend Alan."
