Why Trial Experience is Important

Many clients unknowingly hire lawyers who have never actually taken a case to trial. This would be like hiring a surgeon who has never operated. Our firm is unique because it is one of a select few that has the knowledge and expertise to litigate your case through trial and appeal, including the California Supreme Court, if necessary. The firm’s head counsel, Attorney  Steven W. O'Reilly is a trial lawyer with over three decade’s worth of courtroom experience, winning numerous trial verdicts and appellate court victories, as well as several million-dollar out-of-court settlements.

Although our trial experience is obviously an asset inside the courtroom, it’s an even greater one outside of court. This is because defense lawyers are more likely to settle a case for more dollars when an experienced trial lawyer is on the other side. Due to our trial experience, our cases consistently settle out of court for more money than our clients ever expect.
