Helping people is in my blood. Friends call me “The Liberator!” My mother was very young when she lost her father to a reckless driver. Wounds like that never heal and a loss like that changes the trajectory of one’s life. I am also no stranger to tragedy, and the hope of miracles hinging on every word from a doctor when the diagnosis is grim. The harms cut especially deep when tragedy is thrust into a person’s life unnaturally, unexpectedly and without their consent. My life is a solemn commitment to pursue responsible parties for the harms suffered by my clients. In over 20 years, no defendant is too big or case too complicated.

I am a proud Member of the American Board of Trial Advocates, and now the TLU Faculty. We have offices in California and Connecticut and are always here to help.

This could be the craziest set of premises liability – proprietor negligence facts ever to see a courtroom.  A lady, Izumi Maki,  is invited to a designer dress sale.  Her purse gets locked inside a “dressing room.”  Izumi climbs an A-frame ladder to scale a 14-foot wall to get inside the locked room.  She falls and crushes her left heel.

At the time of the fall, Izumi was 57.   Surgery was recommended within the first four months of injury.  Izumi never had surgery.  The case was tried five years later when she was 62.  Best pre-trial offer was $30,001 (CCP Section 998).  The offer was increased to $75,000 at the close of evidence while a motion for non-suit was pending.  At trial, the defense asked the Jury to award $27,500.
