He Knows the Insurance Company Playbook
Before dedicating his career to representing injury victims, Justin worked as an insurance defense attorney – defending the same insurance companies he now fights against. This insider experience taught him exactly how insurers evaluate claims, minimize payouts, and pressure victims into lowball settlements.
Now, Justin uses that knowledge against them. When insurance adjusters try their standard delay-and-deny tactics, Justin recognizes every move. He’s currently leading a class-action lawsuit against National General Insurance Company for unfair practices that harmed thousands of California policyholders – proving he’s not afraid to take on even the largest insurers.
As featured on NBC News, Justin’s fight against National General demonstrates his commitment to holding corporations accountable for wrongdoing that affects everyday Californians.
