From California Super Lawyers

California Super Lawyers Magazine (February 2005) featured an article on a "Super" insurance defense lawyer with more than 30 years of experience. He is revered by his peers and coveted by insurance carriers who want the very best legal representation possible. A noted Los Angeles trial attorney, ranked among California's 100 most influential lawyers, remarked that this lawyer is "smart, quick, and agile; I wouldn't want to go up against him in court." This "Super" lawyer is now the managing partner of an 80-lawyer insurance defense firm with offices throughout California.

Of the more than 150 jury trials in this Super Lawyer's career he has only had three losses. Jim Ballidis of Allen, Flatt, Ballidis & Leslie was successful in winning one of the three jury verdicts against this lawyer. Additionally, this lawyer noted that Mr. Ballidis' verdict against him was the largest verdict that had ever been rendered against him.

An excellent reputation with insurance companies, hard work, extensive case preparation and attention to detail enables our firm to reach settlement in most cases; however, our firm has the proven capability to beat the very best at trial if required.
