Each area is further divided into categories of expertise. You will want to thoroughly review all available categories and sub-categories to find the appropriate expert or consultant:

The Better Way To Gain More Clients

The San Diego County Bar Association’s Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS) connected over 60,000 qualified clients with participating attorneys in 2023, resulting in nearly eight million dollars in legal fees earned. You could be one of those attorneys in 2024.

The public trusts LRIS as the reliable way get connected with qualified attorneys. Lawyers trust LRIS too, because we carefully pre-screen potential clients to ensure we only send you referrals that match well with your practice area.

Practically speaking, LRIS offers you the most cost-effective way to gain high-quality clients, hands down. The cost is much lower than other marketing methods, including advertising, SEO, listing/rating services, you name it (lower still with the highly-discounted LRIS enrollment fee offered to SDCBA members — your membership will immediately pay for itself).

Best of all, by participating in LRIS, you will be helping clients access quality legal services they wouldn’t find otherwise — a true win-win.

Negotiation When Arbitration/Mediation

Fails:

Stefano Riznyk is a highly-skilled negotiator who trains other lawyers nationwide and has received outstanding reviews in the courses. When mediation fails, but your client wants to avoid making the matter public, negotiation is the best resource. A sophisticated tool that resolves issues through a complex understanding of human nature, invisible agendas, and how the business works works, it can be the most powerful tool in your repertoire.

Stefano has resolved extortion, career destruction, boardroom issues, and even an international kidnapping, with ‘no’ money changing hands. Representing political figures, entertainment celebrities, and even Fortune 500 presidents, he has been able to resolve what could not be accomplished with litigation. Relationships are often mended, and situations renormalized in ways that litigation and mediation cannot accomplish. He offers 34 years’ experience as a business litigator and employment lawyer, as well as an immigration attorney who deals with foreign investors.

William Dillin MD

The concepts of evidence-based medicine have been the cornerstone of Dr. Dillin’s education during his spine surgery fellowship in Neurosurgery and Orthopaedic Surgery and the format for decision making in his subsequent practice.

The critical analytic features inherent in the ‘best evidence ’approach to patients have permeated his writing and his lectures, allowing flexible adaptation as the science has changed. Since July 1985, Dr. Dillin has been exclusively devoted to clinical spine, interventional spine and spine surgery practice. The combination of clinical critical thinking in conjunction with evidence-based medicine practice, allows spine specialty focus on any Independent Medical Evaluations or Medical-Legal Reviews.

He is in clinical practice performing spine surgery, spine interventions and evaluating patients with spine conditions. He is licensed in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and Nevada . Dr. Dillin was a partner at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, California for 35 years and was an associate of the CedarsSinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute.
