We are fully experienced with the complex legal, medical and economic issues involved in such cases. We carefully limit the number of cases we handle, and devote our full attention and efforts to each case. We are proud of our reputation, experience and proven record.
Don Costello has 30 years of experience in handling all types of major personal injury and wrongful death cases. Mr. Costello and cases he has handled have been reported in numerous California and national publications, including the San Jose Mercury News, the San Francisco Recorder, the Los Angeles Daily Journal, the National Law Journal, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. He has been interviewed on local and national television, written and lectured on legal topics and has taught trial practice skills to attorneys from throughout the United States. Mr. Costello has taught trial practice skills to attorneys at the Hastings College of Advocacy and is a Life Member of the MILLION DOLLAR ADVOCATES FORUM, membership in which is limited to trial lawyers throughout the United States who have won million and multi-million dollar cases. He is also a Life Member of the MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR ADVOCATES FORUM. For 25 consecutive years, Mr. Costello has been given the highest possible rating ("A-V") for both legal ability and professional ethics by the prestigious Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory. Ratings are based on the confidential professional opinions of other lawyers and judges. Such a rating, according to Martindale-Hubbell, "reflects an attorney who has reached the heights of professional excellence, has usually practiced law for many years and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity". If your case involves complex medical and legal issues and serious injury, ask other lawyers in the community who they would recommend. A distinguishing characteristic of our practice is that we accept and handle only a very limited number of cases, generally handling not more than two or three active cases at a time. We have been fortunate to receive many referrals of possible cases over the years (most of our cases have been referred to us by other attorneys). We handle a small number of carefully selected cases and devote complete attention, and our best efforts, to each. We study the facts and law thoroughly and understand that each client, and the effect of their injuries, is unique. Fees are based upon the amount of the successful recovery. Conference offices are available in all major California cities. |

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT LAWYER Choosing the right lawyer in a complex injury case is an important decision and should be made carefully. It should not be based upon advertising alone. Make your decision based upon objective factors such as experience, professional reputation and past results. If you know lawyers, judges or others in the legal community, ask who they would choose. Choosing the right lawyer will likely have a substantial effect on the outcome of your case.
