What Central Law Firm's Clients Say

Verified reviews from Google and Yelp — clients who came to Central Law Firm when it mattered most.

★★★★★

Michael was an absolute force in the courtroom. From the moment the hearing started, it was clear who was in control and it wasn't the other side. Michael dominated every second, leaving the opposing party looking completely defeated and unprepared. He was sharp, relentless, and so far ahead that it honestly felt like they had no chance from the beginning. He wrapped up my entire case with a flawless performance, securing exactly the outcome I wanted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from clients considering Central Law Firm.

Who can file a wrongful death claim in California?

Surviving spouse or domestic partner, children, and (if no children) parents. In some cases, anyone financially dependent on the decedent. We'll evaluate who has standing in your situation.

What damages may be recovered in a wrongful death case?

Depending on the circumstances, damages may include funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support and household services, and the loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, and guidance provided by the person who died. Other damages may also be available depending on the facts of the case.

How long do I have to file?

Generally two years from the date of death. Medical malpractice has different timelines. Claims against government entities require notice within six months.

What if my loved one was partly at fault?

California's pure comparative negligence still allows recovery, reduced by their share of fault. You're not barred just because the insurer claims fault.

How much is a wrongful death case worth?

It varies dramatically based on the decedent's age, income, family circumstances, and the egregiousness of the conduct. Central Law Firm will give you an honest range only after reviewing the specifics of your case.
