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 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. "
