As a Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist, work comp is my unquestioned area of expertise.  I have also defended matters involving LC §132a discrimination claims and allegations of Serious and Willful Misconduct, simply put, if it’s before the WCAB, I handle it. 

Many workers’ compensation defense attorneys hate dealing with lien claimants.  I don’t feel that way.  Having an intimate knowledge of the case, doing the deposition and meeting with employer witnesses gives me an unquestioned advantage in negotiating favorable settlements with the lien claimants after the case is resolved.  In situations where nuisance value settlements are negotiated at depositions the lien exposure frequently exceeds the injured workers’ settlement, in these circumstances making sure the doctors don’t recover more than they are entitled to is critical to disincentive the filing of more frivolous claims. 

If you are a physician and prepare medical legal reporting for use in the California workers’ compensation system, I offer one on one training seminars to help assist you in preparing a comprehensive medical legal report which will constitute substantial medical evidence at the WCAB.  If you are being deposed, I can help you prepare so that you can competently defend your medical opinion against the scrutiny of cross examination. 

If you need assistance securing recovery as a lien claimant or subrogee in a civil matter, please do not hesitate to contact me, I’ve recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for employers and insurance carriers in these matters and know what it takes to maximize your recovery. 

If you are an employer and have a legal problem, do not hesitate to contact my office, whether it’s a wage and hour dispute, discrimination claim or a contract issue, if you need legal representation and I can’t help you, I’ll get you to someone competent that can.
