Jerry focuses on complex civil litigation and catastrophic personal injury/wrongful death cases and is a nationally recognized expert in utility-caused fires.
Over the past two decades, he and his team have represented more victims of utility-caused fires than any other California firm, and he is one of the state’s leading experts on utility-fire litigation.

He has served as liaison counsel and in other positions of leadership in complex civil cases all over the state of California. He currently serves as liaison counsel in the Kincade, Zogg and Bobcat Fire cases, which are being litigated in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Jerry has tried over 20 cases and settled thousands more, including over 250 cases for $1 million or more and dozens of cases for $10 million or more. In the past decade, he and his team have recovered over $1 billion for their clients.
