Inspired by the tragic loss of her grandfather after a traumatic brain injury and driven by her own traumatic injury at the young age of 21, due to the medical malpractice of a doctor, Erica made a commitment to fight for individuals who have been harmed by the negligence of others.

Erica brings a heightened level of commitment and professionalism to the profession of law, one that is unrivaled by even the best of attorneys. Erica has infused her empathy and compassion for others with her well-versed knowledge of the law, medicine, and brain injury to help establish a top law firm that is dedicated to fighting for its clients. With her own personal connection to loss, Erica understands the importance and delicacy surrounding medicine and personal injury law.

That personal connection makes Erica a passionate attorney who works on every case with unshakeable devotion. What differentiates Erica from other lawyers is the enormous amount of personal time she invests in each client. Helping people and protecting their “people’s rights” is Erica’s passion and it shows through her practice.

Erica is a true visionary and leader in the profession of law. She has secured the highest position in the field of brain injury, in the State of California, as the Chair of the Board for the Brain Injury Association of California. Erica single-handedly built the largest brain injury conference in the world where she brings the world’s best doctors to teach lawyers the most cutting-edge medicine in the field of traumatic brain injury, for three full days in San Diego, California. She is frequently asked to lecture at large-sized industry events to mentor young attorneys and foster their knowledge by sharing her knowledge of brain injury medicine and law. Erica also serves on the Board of the Consumer Attorneys of California, Los Angeles Trial Lawyer Charities.
