Our new paralegal, Karen Hoey, grew up in San Diego, California. After graduating from Poway High School, she attended the University of California, Santa Cruz where she earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology. After her graduation, Karen moved back to San Diego and attended the Paralegal Program at the University of San Diego.
Since that time, Karen has worked in many different areas of law, including personal injury, employment, construction defect, and real estate. She is excited to start working for plaintiffs and getting them the compensation they deserve.
Since the outbreak, our firm has remained open. However, for the health and safety of our employees and community, we have been working both remotely and in the office on an appointment basis.
We are pleased to announce that our firm and partnerships have been working to 3D print medical face shields to be donated to our medical providers and those fighting on the front lines of the COVID19 crisis.
In August 2019, our 73-year old client, a Vietnam War Veteran and Lion Club Service Member, walked into a warehouse to pickup food for his church’s food closet. While he waited for his receipt, an employee transported several large stacks of crated bananas to the area where our client was standing. The stacks tipped and fell on our client, injuring his spinal cord. 43 days and several surgeries later, our client was released from the hospital as a “partial quadriplegic” with severe neurological deficits. His doctors could not say whether he would ever walk again. Since that time, he and his wife have dedicated their lives to getting him better. Though he remains limited, he has started to take steps with assistance and is regaining the use of his arms. Last weekend our Firm finalized a settlement in the amount of $7.5 million. We have never met a more deserving couple, and we know they look forward to getting on track and back to serving their community.
