Common questions
Do you have an office in Bakersfield?
No. We are based in San Diego and represent clients throughout California. For Bakersfield clients, we come to your home or the hospital, or we meet by video or phone. You do not need to travel to us.
How long do I have to file a claim after an injury in Bakersfield?
In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. If a city, county, or state agency may be responsible, a written claim usually must be presented within six months. Deadlines depend on the facts, so call us as soon as you can.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means we are paid only if we recover money for you.
