Michael Guajardo became a plaintiffs lawyer because he wanted to re-focus his legal career on representing individuals who did not have the means for obtaining justice for themselves. "My decision to change from the defense side of cases has proven to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my career."

Keys to winning a case

"We dedicate a significant amount of time and resources to preparing our cases for trial. Our preparation begins the from the day we are hired. We will conduct a thorough investigation into the facts, retain competent expert witnesses and present the case in a way that is compelling and understandable to the jury."

Our firm has a strong reputation for bringing our cases to life through the use of technology in the courtroom. From illustrations, animations, and in some cases, re-creations, we are able to visually tell our client's story. "It's one thing to tell a story, but when you can show it and take the jury back in time to the actual event, that makes a tremendous difference."

His philosophy

"The biggest reward to what I do is seeing how our efforts improve the lives of our clients. While we cannot erase the tragedy they have experienced, we can ease their burdens. That's why we're here. "
