Arash Homampour, Esq. - General Personal Injury Arash Homampour is widely regarded as one of California’s top personal injury attorneys, celebrated for his ability to secure substantial verdicts in challenging cases. His exceptional talent was on full display in the O’Malley v. Diamond Resorts case, where he achieved a final judgment totaling over $102 million. This landmark case involved Priscilla O’Malley, who suffered severe, permanent injuries after a hotel failed to conduct a welfare check following her aneurysm. Homampour expertly argued that the hotel’s negligence exacerbated her condition, leading to significant memory loss and the need for round-the-clock care. The jury awarded $60 million in damages, a figure that surged past $102 million due to legal penalties and interest, making it one of the largest personal injury verdicts in California’s history.

Jason Argos, Esq. - Medical Malpractice Jason Argos has distinguished himself as a formidable force in medical malpractice litigation, particularly in cases involving complex medical and legal issues. His expertise was on full display in the case Conway v. Bai, where he represented the family of a 54-year-old sheriff’s deputy who tragically died following a severe motor vehicle accident and subsequent medical mismanagement. The case revolved around the failure to properly administer anticoagulant medication, leading to a fatal pulmonary embolism. Argos faced an uphill battle against a seasoned defense team led by a legendary attorney with a 95% win rate. Despite the odds, Argos’s thorough understanding of the medical records, innovative trial strategies, and relentless pursuit of justice resulted in a significant $2.15 million jury verdict, which was later adjusted to $900,000 due to MICRA caps. This victory was particularly meaningful for Argos, coming after a series of challenging trials early in his career. His ability to persevere and achieve such a landmark result has solidified his reputation as a top trial lawyer in the medical malpractice field. Ricardo Echeverria, Esq. - Insurance Bad Faith Ricardo Echeverria stands out as a preeminent figure in insurance bad faith litigation, having built a reputation for fiercely advocating on behalf of policyholders who have been wronged by their insurers. His expertise was particularly evident in the landmark case Selck v. Geico. This case involved a $100,000 insurance policy where Geico, despite the clear liability and substantial damages, refused to settle within the policy limits. Echeverria’s deep understanding of insurance law and his strategic approach led to a resounding $7 million verdict against Geico. The jury found that Geico had acted in bad faith by not protecting its policyholder, which resulted in financial exposure far beyond the policy limits. Echeverria’s work in this case not only secured justice for his client but also sent a strong message to insurance companies about the consequences of failing to uphold their obligations. His success in this and other cases has solidified his standing as a top trial lawyer, dedicated to ensuring that insurance companies are held accountable.
