When Should You Hire a California Trial Attorney?
A trial lawyer represents clients involved in litigation, meaning cases that need to go to court to be resolved. This does not mean, however, that hiring a trial attorney in California means your case is guaranteed to go to trial. In fact, it decreases the odds of litigation, as a trial attorney excels in case preparation. Preparing a case as if it will go to trial, with supreme attention to detail, can improve your position during settlement negotiations. Milanfar Law Firm represents clients involved in civil litigation from both sides of the matter.
You may need to hire a California trial attorney if your case has unique challenges that make it more difficult to resolve, such as catastrophic injuries or multiple parties. In these scenarios, your future could be at risk, as the other side of the case may not treat you fairly or make reasonable demands and offers. A trial lawyer can guide you through the legal process while advocating for your rights and best interests, no matter what obstacles your case involves.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Case?
Personal injury law is a practice area that serves to resolve disputes between the injured victim of an accident (the plaintiff) and the party allegedly at fault for the accident (the defendant). Most personal injury cases involve a defendant’s insurance company as the party accepting or rejecting financial responsibility for a plaintiff’s injuries.
If you suffer a serious injury in a preventable accident in California, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim. You can seek financial compensation, or damages, for a number of losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. Most personal injury cases are based on the legal doctrine of negligence, or the failure to use a proper degree of care.
As the plaintiff in a personal injury case, you have the burden of proof. This is the responsibility to prove your case based on a preponderance of the evidence – enough evidence to demonstrate to a jury that what you are claiming is more likely to be true than not true. The defendant then has the opportunity to deny the claim being made and to combat allegations with evidence of his or her own. Whether you are the plaintiff or defendant in a personal injury case, our lawyers can help you build the strongest case possible.
