About Brian

I began my legal career as a Riverside County Deputy D.A. before moving to Santa Barbara in 1987. Between the years of 1987 to 1997, my practice involved primarily defending personal injury, professional negligence, and product liability matters.

Since 1997, I have exclusively represented individuals seriously injured through medical or legal malpractice, auto, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, product defect, insurance bad faith, dog bites, head and spine injuries, elder abuse, and the wrongful death of a family member.

I have successfully obtained jury verdicts in over 35 trials and recovered over 10 million dollars on behalf of injured clients. I have a proven track record and the level of experience required to win your case.
