Darwin Personal Injury Lawyers

I am a trial attorney serving clients across all of California state wide.

I work to protect the rights of the people in our community.

Often I represent the David in the fight against Goliath. Many of my clients have been people injured and who are up against large insurance companies.

Insurance companies only care about one thing – profits. They profit by paying less to injured people.

I fight insurance companies that delay and deny rightful claims.
