About Pius

I  have been a Trial Lawyer since 1987 and tried my first case before a Jury  representing the victim of a motorcycle accident in 1988 in San Diego Superior Court. I obtained a substantial verdict for the client.

 

Since then, I  continue to represent  injury victims in automobile/motorcycle accidents, Falls,Defective product litigation and serious and catastrophic injury victims in personal injury cases.

 

I have tried cases  before the Jury in almost all Counties in the State of California and particularly, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Kern, Fresno, Tulare and Alameda Counties.

 

My Firm is dedicated to  Client relationship first and foremost. We work hard and educate clients of the process. A better educated Client is better equipped to meet  Today's challenges in litigation . Our experience together with client education always give an edge  for our clients to meet the challenges of court experience.

 

Above all  I enjoy helping people in need and  am always available to listen.

 

On a personal note I like to travel and listen to my favorite singer Andrea Bocelli.

Review Pius Joseph

An honest man with integrity

Posted by

I have seen his work and know the type of honest work this man does, it is important that I leave this review so others can know that if they choose to hire Pius, that he really does ALL he can to support his client and does it with integrity and grace. He is also very nice and likable.

Personal Injury case Attorney who Cares for his Clients well being

Posted by

Mr. Joseph and team handled a difficult personal injury case for me for the past few years which has come to a conclusion in my favor and thanks to Mr Joseph and team was able to recover additional funds. Mr Joseph has gone out of his way to make sure I had the treatment I needed through-out and made time to listen to my concerns and communicated at every step of the case. In addition Mr. Joseph has gone over and above in helping to advise in other legal issues and I feel in the conclusion of this case I have found a friend. I trust this team implicitly they are highly professional and knowledgeable and I am happy with the result. I cannot say enough great things about this firm. I highly recommend the Law offices of Pius Joseph

I'm not 100% in my future but he was amazing, took his time and I felt he cared. I have been given the short end of the stick last nine years in my own case. He truly went above and beyond to the point where my stress levels caused me to have tears after my phone call. My situation may be better , well I know it will I wish he was local to me. When your in the darkness you appreciate any light and he did that for me, at least one night I may sleep better because he cared more then just getting off the phone...I felt human again however small

I have used Mr. Pius for several of my automobile accidents, which I was rear-ended in all but one. Mr. Pius is very competent. I trust him with my life. He will also be my children's attorney if they ever need one. Mr. Pius is a very compassionate, considerate, empathetic, and humble attorney that will fight for you not for the money but for the principle behind the matter. His staff is very polite and considerate as well. I highly recommend his services and I have referred him to my friends and family. Mr. Pius always kept me in the loop of what was going on with my case and he always returned my calls promptly.
