Because we chose our cases carefully, and only accept a small number we are able to give this personal attention. We consider cases throughout California.

We have a very unique approach. We accept very few cases. Our small number of cases allows us to give you and your family close personal attention.

Jude Basile will be your personal lawyer. You will have access to him and his firm 24/7.

All your questions will be answered to the best of our ability at all times, as soon as possible.

We have learned that the journey to justice begins and continues with a deep understanding of the people and families we represent.

We will advance costs, of experts, court costs, depositions, videographers, graphic design, medical illustrators, medical experts and others that we believe will best assist in presenting your case. Attorneys' fees only after we collect!

We often try to use the case to make the community safer. If there are issues of public safety, we make it a priority to stop the bad conduct from putting others at risk. We seek to prevent others from having to go through what you and your family has.

You may choose to have daily, weekly or periodic written updates of your case.

In short we become a team. We work together. We understand the nature of the legal system and use it as it is meant to be used: To hold wrongdoers responsible in order to enforce safety rules, and make up for the harm caused.
