Two generations, one standard of care
Kane Handel
Kane founded the firm in 1987 and has dedicated her career to advocating for injured people throughout California. Over nearly four decades, she has represented thousands of clients and built a reputation for compassionate, effective representation. She still works directly with every client and treats each case like family.
Jonah Handel
Jonah grew up around the firm and saw firsthand the difference his mother's work made for families. After starting his career in finance, he went to law school with one goal: to join his mom and help injured people get their lives back on track. Today he works side by side with Kane and their clients, and he loves every minute of it.

Answers before you call
Every case is different. These are the questions we hear most often.
Do I have a case?
To recover in a California personal injury case, you generally must show that you were injured and that the injury was caused by someone else's negligent or intentional conduct. The injury can be physical or emotional. A free consultation is the fastest way to learn whether you have a claim and how strong it is.
How much does it cost to hire Handel Law Group?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we are paid only if we recover money for you. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee.
Can I meet with you virtually or by phone?
Yes. Your free consultation can be done by video call or by phone, and many of our clients never need to travel. If you would rather meet in person, we can come to your home or to the hospital. Whatever you choose, you will speak with an attorney.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Claims against a government agency, such as a city, county, or Caltrans, usually require a written claim within six months. Waiting can cost you your case, so call as soon as you can.
When you call, a real person answers.
Every call to Handel Law Group is answered by a member of our team, never an automated system or call center. If you have been injured, you can reach someone who can help any time, day or night, by phone or text.
