About

If you or someone you love has a need to pursue justice, Siegal & Richardson is the litigation team you need. We are experienced attorneys who work tirelessly to understand you and your case and to ensure the just course of action will be pursued. Whatever the unfortunate circumstances are surrounding your desire for an attorney, you need someone who will fight for you and your community. Siegal & Richardson bring that fight to the big corporations, insurance companies, and governments because everyone, even those who may not have the resources to take on litigation, deserves justice.For over 30 years we have been taking on cases in California dealing with serious personal injury, employment litigation, and business litigation. We have taken on cases involving auto and motorcycle accidents, civil rights, wrongful death, medical malpractice, racial discrimination in the workplace, age discrimination in the workplace, legal malpractice, consumer protection, and other areas that need to be litigated aggressively. We have had countless successful cases that have had significant financial outcomes for our clients.Common among all our cases is our abiding dedication to public service. Joel Siegal and Richard Richardson have both grown up in families with a tradition of pursuing justice for those who might otherwise not have a voice. We continue the tradition of fighting for under served communities of people to ensure that all victims who have suffered can pursue justice.Our ability to address your personal injury, employment, or business needs begins with you. Navigating the complexities of California’s Laws on your own is time consuming, grueling, and will likely not result in the outcome you desire. You need a team that is compassionate, experienced, and aggressive in the courtroom. It is essential that you don’t wait. The sooner you contact us for your free consultation, the sooner we can hear your story and begin our pursuit of justice.

Mr. Siegal was extremely responsive as it pertained to my lack of knowledge in pursuing a wrongful death/malpractice injustice. He has an immense breadth and depth of the law, and was extremely gracious in sharing his knowledge with the utmost professionalism and candor. He is a strong role model with compassion and tenacity; but moreover takes the time to thoroughly review the in's and out's with 100% due diligence. It is a rarity for me to provide feedback/input; however, as I am sure that there are a lot of individuals in very similar situations as mine, I wanted to share my experience(s). Mr. Siegal is a highly knowledgeable attorney and should be one of the first attorney's that any potential client should contact/engage, as his in depth experience and knowledge sets the bar for what one should expect.

Joel handled a case for my mom and sister who were in a motor vehicle accident. He quickly got in touch with the defendants' insurance carriers, obtained relevant records and efficiently recovered sizeable settlements. He negotiated liens that otherwise would have eaten up a portion of their settlement. Joel kept in touch with my sister and mom throughout the whole process, addressed their concerns and patiently explained each step to them. Joel and his team are tenacious and compassionate. I would recommend them to anyone facing legal issues.

The Samuel Lawrence Foundation has been involved with groundbreaking challenges. Attorney Siegal is our general counsel and his thorough advice continues to prevent many potential pitfalls. His guidance and strategic direction remains invaluable and we are grateful to heed both. Since 2013 his recommendations with regards to our advocacy have proven instrumental for successful outcomes. Case in point involved the San Onofre nuclear power plant and So Cal Edison.

I have read the poor review below and could not disagree more. I hired Joel when my mother was hit by a car. He could have taken advantage of us in any number of ways. Instead, he advised us to settle out of court through mediation when it became clear that mediation would result in far lower expenses and a higher settlement. We did, indeed, receive a very generous settlement that will help my mother deal with the long term effects of the accident. Joel was always honest with us and gave us the best advice he could. In cross examination, he took his time talking with the woman who hit my mother until, after a few hours, he was able to get her to admit that a cell phone was her hand. That was, of course, a game changer. He picked an outstanding mediator - someone that the opposing attorney would respect due to his long experience in the insurance industry - and as a result, negotiations were quick and resulted in a number both sides could agree upon. Furthermore, he fought to reduce medical expenses, negotiating with several insurance companies and the consultants they hired to recover those expenses. Our family is grateful to Joel for the work he has done. And if you still aren't sure he is the right man for the job, check out his website and look at the "in the news" and bio sections. This is not a man that needs to be dishonest in order to make a living; quite the opposite - he champions those who need his services the most.

Joel is a brilliant lawyer and finds unorthodox ways to represent his clients. His discovery is endless and leaves no stone unturned till he finds the winning approach. He is diligent, honest, hard working and informative. Joel represented me in a motorcycle accident and I also recommended Joel to several friends involved in motorcycle or car accidents. In each case Joel was successful getting sizable settlements. In addition to being a great lawyer he truly cares for his clients. I highly recommend Joel.
