Personal Injury Lawyer Encino

We take pride in being trial-ready attorneys, not just settlement negotiators. Over the past five years, we’ve taken 32 cases to trial with injuries similar to yours—whether it’s spinal injuries from car accidents, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), or complex multi-vehicle collisions. While 90% of cases do settle, insurers know we won’t back down from trial if they refuse to offer fair compensation.

For example, last year, we represented a client who suffered a herniated disc in a rear-end collision. The insurance company offered 75,000 initially, claiming her injury was ‘ pre-existing.’ We refused, took the case to trial, and the jury awarded 1.8 million, more than 24 times the original offer. This is why we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial—because when insurers know you’re serious, they take your claim seriously.

Pre-existing conditions are a common tactic insurers use to undervalue claims, but we have a proven strategy to counter them. First, we obtain your complete medical history—not just the records the insurance company cherry-picks. Then, we work with independent medical experts who can distinguish between your prior condition and the new injuries caused by the accident.

For instance, we had a client with degenerative arthritis who was injured in a slip-and-fall. The insurer claimed his pain was ‘just arthritis,’ but our orthopedic specialist testified that the fall accelerated his condition by 300%, requiring surgery. 

We also use day-in-the-life videos and pain journals to show how the accident worsened your condition. If needed, we’ll take the case to trial to prove the true impact of your injuries.

Unlike some firms that hand off cases to inexperienced associates, you will work directly with Sasha Bojat—an attorney with 15+ years of experience. You’ll have his personal cell number, and we schedule bi-weekly update calls so you’re never left in the dark.

We keep our caseload intentionally small (no more than 20 active cases per attorney) so we can give each client the attention they deserve. You won’t be passed to a ‘case manager’—when you call, you’ll speak to someone who knows your file inside and out.

Many firms don’t explain the full financial picture, but we believe in total transparency. Here’s exactly what comes out of your settlement:

• Attorney fees (contingency-based, only if we win)

• Case costs (medical records, expert witnesses, court filings—typically $5,000–$25,000, which we cover upfront)

• Liens (medical bills, Medicare/Medicaid, health insurance—we aggressively negotiate these down)

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning:

• You pay $0 upfront—we cover all case costs.

• We only get paid if you win.

• Fees are a percentage of recovery
