About BJ
Biography
When I first start, I worked for the large Law Firms. However, I learned very quickly that they didn't offer the same customer service I felt people deserved so I set out on my own. I can't predict the future, nor can any other Attorney regarding your case. Yet, with decades of experience, ethical legal practices that earned our Law Firm respected in Legal Community and among the Judges, commitment to the best customer service, staying up to date on the Laws, giving back to the community and access to the best experts, has built our Law Firm an outstanding reputation in California and abroad. We have won more Trials than more Law Firms. I am a Family man, I enjoy Fencing, I enjoy playing my guitars, I am a collector of toys for the Children I represent and I enjoy camping. In giving back to the community I am on numerous committees that help Children, Teens and write new Laws for the State of California. I also do a radio show on 91.1 KALW "Your Legal Rights", which is a national show. This show informs the listeners regarding the law on various issues every week. I don't just represent clients, I care what happens to clients throughout their cases. I am not an average Attorney, nor is our Law Firm. We think out side the box to do all we can to assist our clients to win. To be honest, this process can sometimes be a short process or it could be a long process. It all depends on many factors. Yet, we will do all we can to resolve your issue quickly.
