also known as Anderson Franco
Anderson Franco is a California personal injury attorney and the founding attorney of Anderson Franco Law, A.P.C. He represents individuals and families who have suffered serious injuries in motor vehicle collisions, construction accidents, dangerous property conditions, workplace incidents involving third parties, and other negligence cases throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and California.
Before representing injured plaintiffs, Mr. Franco spent seven years defending insurance companies and their insureds in civil litigation. That experience gives him firsthand insight into how insurers evaluate liability, medical evidence, causation, damages, and settlement exposure. Today, he uses that knowledge to anticipate defense strategies, negotiate effectively, and prepare cases for litigation when necessary.
Mr. Franco personally handles every case his firm accepts. He maintains a selective caseload so he can remain closely involved in the investigation, development, negotiation, and litigation of each matter. Clients work directly with the attorney responsible for their case rather than being passed between case managers or junior attorneys.
Mr. Franco has extensive litigation experience in California state and federal courts. He has handled complex personal injury cases, conducted jury and bench trials, argued significant motions, and appeared before the California Court of Appeal. His appellate work includes published decisions, including *Reynolds v. Lau*.
Beyond representing injured clients, Mr. Franco contributes to the legal profession through writing and continuing legal education. In September 2026, he authored the *Daily Journal* article, "What plaintiff lawyers can learn from the defense side," sharing practical insights from his experience representing both insurance companies and injured plaintiffs. In October 2026, he served as a faculty presenter for the National Business Institute's continuing legal education program, "Personal Injury Damages From Start to Finish," addressing important considerations in evaluating and proving personal injury damages.
Mr. Franco is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and UC Berkeley School of Law, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the *Berkeley Business Law Journal*. He is fluent in English and Spanish and regularly represents Spanish-speaking clients throughout California.
His professional accomplishments have earned recognition from legal and business organizations. Mr. Franco was named a Northern California Super Lawyers Rising Star annually from 2018 through 2026. He received the Lawyers on the Fast Track Award at the 2025 California Legal Awards, was recognized as a Forty Under 40 honoree by the North Bay Business Journal in 2024, and was selected for the 2025 Latinos 40 Under 40 class by Negocios Now.
Mr. Franco has also received a 10.0 "Superb" rating on Avvo and an Avvo Clients' Choice Award. He has served in leadership roles with the San Francisco La Raza Lawyers Association and the Bay Area Latino Lawyers Fund and remains involved in the legal community through organizations including the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association and Consumer Attorneys of California.
At Anderson Franco Law, his approach emphasizes careful preparation, direct attorney involvement, and straightforward communication. His goal is to provide injured clients with experienced representation and the individual attention their cases deserve.

Great Attorney for Injury Cases
I was injured in a restaurant in 2019. I first tried negotiating with the restaurant's insurance company by myself. But the insurance company didn't take my personal injury case seriously. So I contacted Anderson to represent me and he was wonderful. He took control of the case and eventually settled...
