Litigation is a battle;
a trial is a war. Jack's philosophy in law as in life is best
summed up by a quote of Winston Churchill: "Never give in.
Never, Never, Never, Never." That philosophy has served him
well by giving him the drive to become a Junior Golden Gloves boxing
champion, a third degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, and to
receive the honor of Trial Lawyer of the Year.
For more than thirty years, Jack's goal has been to
become the best trial lawyer he can be. As a
California trial attorney, Jack has tried more than 100 civil
cases before a jury. He has been invited to and has
lectured
to both attorneys and physicians. These lectures include such
topics as trial practice,
medical malpractice,
insurance bad faith,
products liability and
premises liability.
He holds the
designation of Diplomate, the highest rank of the American
Board of Trial Advocates. He currently serves as the
President of Italian
American Lawyers.
He has served as President of the
Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles and he has
been on the Board of Governors and on the Executive
Committee of numerous trial lawyer
associations, including the Litigation Section of the
Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Los Angeles Chapter
of ABOTA and the Consumer Attorneys of California.
He has been formally
recognized as one of the attorneys who assisted the task
force in the preparation of the Judicial Council of
California
CACI jury instructions.
As a California medical malpractice attorney, Jack has
successfully represented clients for 30 years throughout California
in several types of
medical malpractice and
medical negligence cases, including wrongful death, birth
injuries, mis-diagnosis, surgical errors, emergency room errors,
medication errors, nursing errors and other types of medical
negligence.
| As a California
insurance bad faith
attorney,
Jack has helped clients whose insurance claims have been wrongfully
denied, or their insurance coverage canceled without merit. When an
insurance company is sued for bad faith, it has the money to hire
the best defense attorneys. Jack believes the victim of insurance
bad faith has the right to an attorney with at least as much
experience. With his knowledge of insurance practice, Jack levels
the playing field for his clients by aggressively defending his
client's rights. He and his partners and associates have
successfully handled insurance bad faith cases against numerous
insurance companies. |
