About Nancy
Biography
I used to defend Workers Comp insurance companies ... I KNOW their tactics.
I have been in Workers Compensation since 1987, so I know the real doctors here -- AND the ones to avoid.
I still handle my claims myself. I NEVER turn your claim over to a Legal Assistant.
There is never a fee until your claim closes. The Judge orders the fee from your Award at Trial or the Settlement. You never write me a check.
Your first consultation is FREE. If I can't help you, I will tell you.

A Whip That Cares
Nancy Wallace is top notch. Yeah, she is busy. She knows her stuff. My consult with her leaves me wishing I was in her area. She came up with strategies that other, well qualified attorneys just missed. If You can get her to represent you, you will not regret it.

Extremely Knowledgeable
If I could give her 10 stars I would. She's very knowledgeable and cares for people. She could give seminars to other attorneys on workers compensation laws. She's work both ends for the insurance company and for injured employees. I learned more from her in 15 than i have over the past 2 years. I o...
Nancy J Wallace's Lawyer Endorsements
"Without any hesitancy, I endorse Nancy J Wallace for her dedicated and fearless legal work on behalf of injured workers in the California workers' compensation system. Like me, Ms. Wallace worked on the defense side of the field for many years before switching over, meaning she has first-hand inside knowledge on how defendants, and their lawyers, approach claims. Ms. Wallace is passionate of what she does and it is not easily intimidated by insurance company tactics and denial letters."

Nancy’s comment:
“I did not know the Board of Specialization sent me something i never received, and said I was a Specialist* (*I was for 24 years) on my website when I was no longer one. I thought i had corrected my website but the changes I made didn't get saved. I was battling a life-threatening blood clot at the time of trial and was advised to 'agree' i violated bar rules instead of going to trial, so I have been disciplined. If i didn't have the clot, i would have proceeded to trial.”
