I am a Certified Legal specialist in California workers' compensation. I have an office in Point Arena California.

• Free Consultation
  The WCAB does not allow attorneys practicing workers compensation to bill clients directly and all attorney fees must be approved by the court. In sum, the applicant has no exposure to pay attorney fees absent an award from the court.
• Contingent Fees
  On occasion I will prosecute a 132a discrimination claim and may request a contingency fee relating to any recovery.

Q. My now ex attny claims to not know what happened with the WCAB hand adjusts & I've turned to Justia to get clarity.

A: That's not true. The first answer you received was the answer. I tired to provide you with help so perhaps you could find a new attorney. It seems that all you want is to rant. Perhaps you should ask the first attorney if he is willing to fund a malpractice case for you. I will wager that you will fall apart on cross-ex.

Q. What does it mean: WCAB paperwork where "Proposed" order is hand-scratched out & "Joint" is written over it?

March 25, 2024

A: When you write messages like this you are signaling to any future attorney that you are a difficult client, and perhaps why your prior attorney left. We don't need to know why you were unhappy, or how many mistakes your attorney made. You do not need to justify why you want another attorney. All we need to know is that you want new representation. I suggest when you look for new representation simply say there was a lack of communication. There are enough problems and complaints in WC without hearing about your interpretation of your attorney's mistakes and faulty legal analysis. You are shooting yourself in the foot. From what you say you are going to need a really good attorney to proceed, but you are closing the door by being so critical. I suggest someone with CAAA. Good luck. ... Read More

Q. Are there any legal resources that can help me write an email asking for reasonable accomodations for depression?

February 19, 2024

A: First you must have a medical opinion that your depression is related to work and because of this you need an accommodation. Once a physician makes such a finding, then the report is in itself a request for accommodation.

In your reasonable accommodation letter, you should provide all the information your employer will need to begin the accommodation process, including what your disability is, how it affects you, which aspects of your job might require modification, and proposed accommodations.
