PERSONAL INJURY / WRONGFUL DEATH

Mr. Drake has been a successful trial attorney for almost
thirty years. Mr. Myers has been a lawyer for over a
decade and ran the San Fernando Valley Injury Law
Center prior to joining Mr. Drake's firm. Between them,
Mr. Drake and Mr. Myers are able to offer the highest
caliber of representation to clients who have suffered
serious or catastrophic personal injury, or who have lost
a loved one, due to another's negligence or wrongful
conduct.

With decades of experience handling medical malpractice
defense, we now bring that experience to work for
plaintiffs who have been victims of medical or dental
negligence, such as birth-related injuries or a wrong
diagnosis. In addition, we handle all other types of
personal injury and wrongful death cases including (but
not limited to):

Vehicular Negligence - Injuries caused by another
person's negligent operation of a motor vehicle (car,
truck, motorcycle, bus, train, airplane, ship, etc.). These
can include rear end accidents and/or freeway accidents.
Premises Liability - Injuries caused by a dangerous
condition on another person's property, including "slip
and fall" cases.
Negligent Security - Injuries that would not have
occurred if the person responsible for the premises had
proper security measures in place (for example, if you
are mugged in a parking lot of a store, and the store
knew that muggings were common there but still did not
hire a security guard, or if a school knew that a certain
child had a history of assaulting students, but still failed
to take precautions to prevent an assault on your child).
Product Liability - Injuries caused by a defective product.
Intentional Torts - Any physical, emotional or financial
harm caused intentionally by another person, such as
assault, battery, false imprisonment, or intentional
infliction of emotional distress.

NOTE: If you or a loved one has been seriously
injured, and you think another person or company is
at fault, you should consult with an attorney right
away, even if it is not our law firm. Time may be of
the essence in documenting the claim, preserving
evidence or filing a claim.

We mostly limit our practice to cases involving serious or
catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death. Examples
of serious injuries may include back injuries, nerve
damage, and many birth-related injuries. The limitation
allows us to specialize on the issues that are important
in such cases. Because only take what we consider to
be strong, high value cases, we are able to charge lower
rates and still provide extensive personal attention to
each client and each case.

For personal injury and wrongful death clients, we offer
the following benefits:

Free Initial Consultation
You can speak to a lawyer by telephone or in person
(and in some cases we can come to you) for a free
consultation about your case. This consultation does not
obligate you to hire our firm.

Free Estimate of What We Think Your Case Is Worth
We can never guarantee victory or any particular result
for any client. However, if you get a free consultation,
you can also request a free estimate from one of our
attorneys who will tell you what he or she feels your
case is worth based on the information provided to us at
your initial consultation. This is a "no obligation" service
-- we will provide the estimate whether or not we take
your case.

We Charge No Fee Unless You Win
We can take your case on contingency, which means our
legal fee will be a percentage of your final recovery. If
you do not obtain any recovery, we get no fee. (Note, if
you prefer, we are also willing to take these cases for an
hourly rate, in which cases our fees are not contingent
and are paid whether you win or lose.)

We GUARANTEE Our Contingent Rates Are Lowest
Generally, our clients are seeking the best lawyers, not
the cheapest lawyers, and cost is not a critical factor.
However, by being selective about the cases we take, we
are able to profit while charging contingency fee rates
that are lower than most firms. Thus, we can guarantee
that if a client finds another firm whose standard
contingency fee rates are lower than ours for
substantially the same services, we will match their
rates plus refund 10% of our fee to the client (up to
$5,000). (Please note that we may sometimes take a
case that we feel involves an unusual amount of risk or
work, such that we negotiate a higher than usual
contingency fee rate, and such cases are expressly
excluded from this guarantee.)

Flexible Appointment Locations and Times
Our normal business hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on
Monday through Friday. However, to accommodate
clients and potential clients, we can make appointments
outside of these times and on weekends. In addition, if
you cannot come to either our Woodland Hills office or
Santa Barbara office, we can have an attorney come to
you.

Help Seeking An Advance On Your Potential Recovery
We have experience dealing with companies that offer
cash advances on legal claims. We can assist you in
contacting and applying for such an advance on your
claim. (Please note that such advances are usually only
provided on high value cases where liability is very clear,
and we cannot guarantee you will receive such an
advance.)

Help Obtaining Medical Care
If we take your case and you still need medical care, we
may be able to help you locate the best specialists to
address your needs and, in some cases, we will advance
the costs of medical care for our clients.
