This wasn’t just a childhood job; it was my education in life and business that continued through law school.
While other kids played Little League, I was working with produce wholesalers and building relationships with our customers, hard-working, salt-of-the-Earth humans. These became my people, and understanding them has been the cornerstone of my success.
My story begins in Greece, where my parents were elementary school dropouts – my dad a sheepherder and farmer, my mom a field worker raising me and my three older sisters. They saw opportunity in America and immigrated to Sacramento when I was three, driven by the hope of a better future for their children.
Despite long hours at the flea markets, I excelled in school. My parents’ sacrifice fueled my determination, making me the first in our family to graduate college and then law school. My father’s words echoed in my ears:
In 1992, just nine months after graduating law school, the economic downturn cost me my job at a respected law firm. At 24, jobless and with student loans looming, I took a leap of faith and started my own firm with a friend.
As we handled various cases, I found my true calling in personal injury law. The immigrant in me resonated deeply with helping underdogs navigate their journey to justice.
Through decades of hard work and a consistent record of great financial wins on behalf of our clients, my firm built a reputation in the community, including the insurance companies and corporate lawyers we go up against, as fearless negotiators and successful trial attorneys. Because of our success, we are able to negotiate better settlements and get more favorable trial results for our clients than other firms.
Today, our financial strength allows us to prioritize clients’ best interests over quick settlements. We don’t need to accept the first low-ball offer insurance companies make. Personally, “I don’t give a (you know what) about getting paid right away. I care about getting the best results for my clients.”
Thirty years into my career, I can say with certainty that the most important skills for being a successful trial attorney, I learned working at our fruit and vegetable stand. At the flea markets, you had to connect with people, put in the time, hang in through the tough days, and you had to be the hardest worker out there. When you choose me as your personal injury attorney, you’re not just getting legal expertise. You’re getting an underdog fighter who understands how to win and will stand up relentlessly for your rights.

Hiring an injury lawyer to represent you is often one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. Choosing the right lawyer can make a world of difference to your personal injury case, not the least of which is the amount of compensation you’ll ultimately recover.
Your personal injury lawyer will handle the crucial legal legwork, which includes investigating the accident and gathering evidence, dealing with insurance adjusters, and working to get you a fair settlement that accounts for all of your injuries and financial losses.
While most injury claims end in settlements, your lawyer may advise that you file a lawsuit and seek damages in court. If this happens, you’ll want to have a legal team that is prepared to go the distance to win you the money you rightfully deserve.
Choosing a personal injury attorney is as crucial as picking a doctor for surgery. Your choice of personal injury attorney can make the difference between a full and fair compensation and an inadequate and unfair settlement.
