Our attorneys have won more than $1.5 billion in settlements for their clients. Our law firm is dedicated, experienced and has a proven track record of success.

When your client’s needs exceed your resources or fall outside your legal specialty, our team of experienced attorneys can step in to help.

West Coast Trial Lawyers receives attorney referrals for cases such as wrongful death, car accidents, premises liability and other serious personal injuries. Whether your firm needs an experienced litigation team or co-counsel to assist on a case, our presence can benefit your client by maximizing their recovery and, of course, maximizing the referral fee paid. We treat all referral attorneys with the utmost respect and pay referral fees upon resolution of a case without delay.

West Coast Trial Lawyers complies with Rule 1.5.1 and all State Bar rules regarding fee-sharing agreements with attorneys. In accordance with California State Bar rules of procedure, we strive to have all referral agreements authorized in writing by the client prior to the resolution of a case to avoid any misunderstanding about fee sharing.

Whether for corporate, defense or criminal defense, we enter into fee-sharing agreements with all types of lawyers, as permitted by law. The amount of the agreed percentage of the referral fee will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the unique circumstances of the case in question. Some of the factors that will come into play in determining fees will be the type of case, its level of risk, the expected costs, the desired level of involvement of the referring attorney and the stage of the litigation.

West Coast Trial Lawyers will always give priority to reaching an equitable fee-sharing agreement with the referring attorney.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have a case you would like to refer to us, if you would like to collaborate with us or if you are litigating a case that has reached a difficult stage and would like our input and assistance. We can assist in cases at any stage of litigation, depending on the facts of each individual case, and can even associate as counsel on the eve of mediation or trial.
