I have tried many personal injury cases to juries, judges, and arbitrators. My trial experience and reputation help me to achieve fair settlements in most cases.

Car Accident 25%

Many of our clients seek us out for counsel regarding car crash and motor vehicle collision matters. We have extensive experience in this area of law.

Animal and Dog Bites 10%

Many of our animal injury cases have been dog bites, but there are many ways of being hurt by an animal that can lead to a financial recovery. We've handled cases where a dog jumped up and knocked a person down, for example.

Medical Malpractice 10%

We have handled medical malpractice cases in San Francisco and just about all the Bay Area counties over the years. Many of these cases have involved Kasier Permanente and other local facilities.

Motorcycle Accident 10%

Our attorneys won $900,000 for a cyclist injured when a driver made a left without seeing him. The at-fault driver had only $100,000 in insurance, and the client had $150,000 more in his own “under-insured motorist” coverage.

Excellent representation and compassion

Boone was great. He kept me informed during the entire proceedings of my case. When I had to go to a medical evaluation, he knew the doctor's reputation and had a court reporter present to ensure everything was documented properly. He prepared me for the mediation that was required for my case.... At the mediation he was professional and represented all of my interests. He was able to secure an award that was full policy limits.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
