The Record

Every case taken
is a case fought.

Selected recoveries, entered as they stand. Disputed liability, adverse witnesses, policy-limit fights — the record below was built on hard cases, not easy ones.

No. 001
$0
Car Accident

A hotly disputed collision in which a witness placed our client at fault. We dismantled the account and secured a seven-figure recovery.

No. 002
$0
Dog Bite

A German Shepherd attack that left our client with permanent scarring. We made certain the recovery reflected the permanence.

No. 003
$0
Motorcycle Accident

Side-swiped while lane-splitting. We recovered $25,000 over the policy limits — money the insurer insisted did not exist.

No. 004
$0
Car Accident

A head-on collision around a blind bend with liability heavily disputed. We settled the dispute in our client's favor.

Results are specific to their facts. No outcome is guaranteed — but the record speaks.

The Attorney

Michael Khodabakhsh

Some attorneys build a practice on volume. Michael built his on outcomes — for people injured in accidents, stuck with defective vehicles, or wronged by their own insurers.

At Southwestern Law School he founded and led the Tort Litigation Society, earned CALI and Witkin awards for academic excellence, and left with one conviction: an injured client deserves the same firepower an insurance company buys by the hour.

When he's not in the office, you'll find him outdoors, at a game, or inside a good work of fiction.

Areas of Practice

Three fights.
One standard.

I

Personal Injury

Car accidents, motorcycle collisions, dog bites, and the injuries that follow. You focus on healing; we focus on making the responsible party pay for it — medical bills, lost wages, and the suffering no invoice captures.

Learn more →
II

Lemon Law

A new car that keeps breaking isn't bad luck — it's a legal claim. California's lemon law can put a refund, replacement, or cash settlement in your hands, with the manufacturer paying your attorney's fees.

III

Insurance Bad Faith

You paid your premiums. When an insurer delays, lowballs, or denies a valid claim, California law gives you a cause of action against them — and we know exactly how to use it.

I was recommended to Michael from a friend of mine that was in a similar situation and he has exceeded expectations. He took care of everything and explained the situation clearly. He was always available whenever I had questions and made the whole experience easy. I have already recommended another friend of mine and would recommend Michael to anyone looking for an attorney.

Straight answers to the questions we hear most. For everything else, the consultation is free — and so is the phone call.

Safety first — get medical help if you need it. Once you're safe, photograph the scene, exchange information with the other driver, and report the accident to police if necessary. From there, we take over: we deal with the insurance companies and handle the claims process for you.

In California, you typically have two years from the date of injury. Miss the deadline and you may lose the right to compensation entirely — so speak with a lawyer as early as possible to protect your claim.

Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage — plus non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Where the other party's conduct was extreme, punitive damages may be on the table as well.

Anywhere from a few months to a couple of years, depending on complexity and whether the insurer is willing to settle fairly. If trial is necessary, it can take longer — and we keep you informed at every step either way.

Nothing up front. We work on contingency: no fee unless we win. For lemon law cases, California law generally requires the manufacturer to pay your attorney's fees on top of your recovery.
