I am committed to providing my clients with the expert and aggressive representation they need and the full compensation they deserve.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I have always enjoyed motorcycle riding and worked at a motorcyle shop before going to law school. While working at the motorcycle shop I developed a first hand, in depth understanding of the technical aspects of motorcycles and the mind set of those who enjoy motorcycle riding.
I have dedicated my legal career to serving the interests of seriously injured accident victims against insurance companies and big corporations.
My firms focus and commitment is to win cases for our clients with personal hands-on lawyering. We do the job with honesty, integrity and compassion.

After a lengthy internet search I found Mr. Blau. He handled my case like a friend, not just another number. He took the time to talk to me any time I needed, case related or not. He is what most attorneys should strive to emulate. He has morals and ethics....I know...weird! I would definitely use as...

Do you fear that an attorney with integrity and a heart of gold might not get you as good a result? Do you believe that you’re better off finding a cunning and ruthless attorney, someone you’d never want to be friends with in your personal life? I learned my lesson when I met and retained Howard Blau...

Howard was very helpful to me when I was working with my mom's caregivers. He advised me as to my legal responsibilities and how to manage their schedules.

Howard is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, responsive, and professional. Not to mention, he is a sincere pleasure to work with. He thoughtfully responded to all points and raised key variables to consider in crafting a strong argument. Can't thank him enough for all of his help with my injury.
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Howard is a true professional. He is highly skilled in both settling and trying cases. I have referred a number of cases to him over the years and will continue to do so."
"Howard's attention to detail, combined with his ability to see the big picture, are invaluable skills in representing personal injury clients. He is quick to respond to communication, tracks every aspect of his case, and treats clients with personal attention. Howard is an excellent attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Howard for more than 25 years. He is experienced, knowledgeable and professional. His methodical skills and client commitment are extremely impressive. He is an excellent advocate on behalf of his clients with proven settlement results. I would not hesitate to have him represent me, my family or friends."
"I have known Howard for several decades and believe him to be a particularly conscientious and capable PI attorney. I have not hesitated to refer him my friends and clients who have had a need for his expertise. I heartily endorse him; if you require the services of a personal injury lawyer, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone better."
"I have known Howard for several years and would refer my family and friends to him for representation. He is well respected, professional and easy to talk to. He takes his work seriously and is passionate about it."
"From personal experience, I know Howard to be an extremely conscientious and meticulously prepared lawyer. I have worked with him on several cases and sought his advice on others. He has a wealth of experience which he uses to acquire the maximum trial or settlement proceeds for his injured clients........Donald N. Hubbard, Atty. at Law, Monterey, CA"
"I was employed by Howard's firm for a period of five years. During that time, I found Howard to be a person of endless integrity, who worked tirelessly for his clients with an intelligently agressive approach on all files. Howard's uncompromising quest for a thorough investigation, a well planned and thought out strategy along with adequate preparation allows his firm to consistently obtain the highest settlements for his clients. Howard's kind, compassionate and respectful treatment of his clients allows his clients the true privilege of working closely with a consumate professional. I, therefore, offer Howard my highest endorsement."
"i have referred many clients to Mr. Blau's firm for Personal Injury claims, both those involving motorcycles as well as other vehicles. Every client i have referred has later told me how impressed they were with Howard's knowledge of the law and ability to place a value on their case. As a fellow attorney, i would not refer someone to an attorney i didn't have confidence in. Howard is aggressive and fights for his client's rights."
"I know this attorney very well and have recommended Howard Blau to many friends. Everyone always appreciates his patience, diligence and care. I can say, personally, that Howard Blau inspires me to be both a better attorney and a better person."
"If any of my clients, friends or family members need a personal injury attorney, I recommend Howard Blau and only Howard Blau."
"Howard is everything a great lawyer should be. He is smart, aggressive, honest and he works tirelessly on behalf of his clients. I recommend him highly."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I was adverse to him on an extremely complex wrongful death/catastrophic personal injury matter. He is extremely competent, skillful, thorough and honest. I do not hesitate to recommend him."
