Easton & Easton

Let Our Family Help Yours

EASTON & EASTON continued its legacy of success in 2022 with numerous major victories on behalf of their personal injury clients. The firm was founded by renowned 50year trial veteran Doug Easton and is now led by his sons, partners Brian, Matt and Travis Easton. Along with their team of trial attorneys, the Eastons have collectively secured more than $100 million in the past five years alone for Orange County personal injury victims. Highly regarded in Southern California for outstanding client service and litigation prowess, the firm has earned a Tier 1 ranking in Orange County for Personal Injury Litigation—Plaintiffs by U.S. News - Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” each of the past five years. All four of the firm’s name partners have been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® for 2023 in Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs in Southern California. Additionally, two of the firm’s talented associates, Brenda Kocaj and Gabriel Mendoza, were again named to the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch™ in America in 2023 lists for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs, Medical Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs and Products Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs.

Much of the firm’s public acclaim stems from its ability to take on difficult high-stakes cases that others feared to engage in, such as their $20 million victory for a client injured by an indigent third party on the defendant’s premises. “No one else wanted that case because the defendants intended to point the finger entirely at the indigent third party, but our initial investigation showed that the defendants had cut corners in their safety protocols, which we knew

we could prove during litigation,” said Co-Managing Partner Matt Easton.

His brother and partner, Travis Easton, adds: “We’re really good at handling these complex cases because our whole family is basically a team of litigators working together. There’s a special synergy created from working together, and it seems to be amplified even greater on these more difficult cases.” Such was the case in their recent victory for an inebriated woman who fell 50 feet on the defendant’s premises. Once again, the case was turned down by many major law firms due to the clear comparative fault of the plaintiff. Nonetheless, after five years of litigation, the Eastons were able to show that the defendants were primarily at fault, leading to a $7 million settlement shortly before trial. Now the firm is poised to acquire more than $25 million in the coming days for a construction site day laborer who almost lost his arm in an elevator accident due to improper training and unsafe worksite conditions. “In each of these difficult cases, we knew the defendants cut corners and trusted in our ability to prove it through the litigation process,” said Co-Managing Partner Brian Easton, who leads the firm’s complex litigation team.

While these results tend to get the publicity and fanfare, the firm is equally proud of the hundreds of victories they

acquire every year for their deserving clients in what might be considered “run-of-the-mill” automobile and trucking accidents. They know that for the client injured, there is nothing “run-of-the-mill” about each case and the results can be life-changing.

Whether they’re acquiring $15,000 or $15,000,000, the goal is the same—to maximize the recovery and satisfaction of their clients under the circumstances. In all such instances, quality legal representation can make all the difference, such as the recent case where the plaintiff’s prior attorney offered to settle for $25,000 with the insurance company before the Eastons took over the case and ultimately recovered $1,250,000. For that client, as with so many others, the caliber of attorney made all the difference.

Given this legacy of results, it’s not surprising that Easton & Easton was recently selected by the Orange County Register’s Reader’s Choice Poll as Orange County’s “Best Law Firm” for 2022. “Of course, we appreciate all the recognition and awards we have received from our peers in the legal community,” says Founding Partner Doug Easton. “But we get the most satisfaction from an award like this based on the voice of the community and of all of the clients we have been blessed to serve throughout the past 30 years.”

“Whether they’re acquiring $15,000 or $15,000,000, the goal is the same—to maximize the recovery and satisfaction of their clients under the circumstances.”

Bentley & More LLP

Gregory L. Bentley and Keith More had each been in practice for nearly 30 years and were renowned in California for securing high-value verdicts and settlements when they launched Bentley & More LLP in 2016.

Over the past six years, injured clients in the greater Orange County Area have benefitted immensely from the firm’s abilities in and out of the courtroom. Bentley & More has secured hundreds of millions of dollars for victims and their families in all matters of catastrophic injury and civil litigation by focusing on clients’ stories to hold defendants accountable.

“We may have different personalities but share a clientcentric philosophy, which is why we regularly secure some of the most favorable resolutions in California,” said Bentley, who was recognized as a 2023 “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers® for Product Liability Litigation–Plaintiffs in Orange County.

The firm handles the client’s workers’ compensation claim as well, which exemplifies why Bentley & More further stands out among plaintiffs’ firms in Southern California.

“The beauty of our law firm is that we handle both personal injury and workers’ compensation in the same office—which many other firms do not,” said More, who was named “Lawyer of the Year” in Orange County by Best Lawyers® for Workers’ Compensation Law–Claimants in 2022 and Product Liability Litigation–Plaintiffs in 2020. “A client injured on the job truly benefits from our service because we avoid the normal conflicts of having two separate firms managing each claim. This enables us to strategize holistically and maximize a client’s compensation.”

The firm’s achievements in California and for its residents have been recognized by U.S. News– Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms, which in its 2023 edition ranked the firm Tier 1 in Orange County for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs, Product Liability Litigation–Plaintiffs and Workers’ Compensation Law–Claimants.

The accolades extend to other firm partners, like Matthew Clark, who is head of the firm’s law and motion practice and was recognized in the 2023 edition of Best Lawyers® for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation–Plaintiffs in Orange County.

Bentley & More maintained its momentum after the COVID-19 pandemic and as it transitioned back to live courtrooms and hearings. From January to July 2022, the firm secured $72 million in settlements in matters ranging from product liability, government entity liability, construction accidents, trucking accidents and workrelated injuries. Following that announcement, the firm and partner/trial lawyer Clare Lucich obtained a confidential eight-figure policy limits settlement on behalf of a client who fell 22 feet through a skylight while working. The case was settled against the building owner and others involved in the client’s working conditions.

And five of the firm’s other lawyers—Clare Lucich, Jaimi Groothuis, Nico Mamone and Farnaz Salessi —are recognized for Personal Injury Litigation—Plaintiffs the 2023 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch™ in America, which recognizes lawyers for outstanding professional excellence earlier in their careers. Lucich, Mamone and Salessi are also recognized in Product Liability Litigation—Plaintiffs.

“We are staffed with some of the most promising legal minds and trial lawyers,” Bentley said. “Their acknowledgments demonstrate Bentley & More’s status as a leader in the legal community. The future success of the firm is inexorably tied to their continued commitment to client service.”

California’s Plan to Phase Out Gas-Powered Cars by 2035

ON AUGUST 25, 2022 , the California State Legislature, in collaboration with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), voted to adopt the Advanced Clean Cars ll proposal into law. The regulation, which is only one part of the multilayered environmental proposal, aims to fully phase out the overall sale and usage of conventional gas-powered vehicles by 2035 while serving as a complex follow-up to last year’s ambitious zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulation.

California, home to the largest automotive market in the U.S., accounts for about 11% of the nation’s total new vehicle sales per year and, in many ways, has catalyzed the rise in popularity of the ZEV movement. In the first half of 2022, ZEVs were responsible for 16.5% of new car sales in the state, a sizeable jump up from 12.4% in 2021 that caught the attention of state lawmakers. Due to ongoing public demand for ZEVs, the regulation will also alter expectations for automotive manufacturers and dealerships by increasing the required ZEV sales they must deliver per year.

This figure will only continue to increase yearly beginning in 2026, starting at 35% and moving to 68% in 2030 and 100% in 2035. California’s new regulations around ZEVs are likely to have far-reaching effects, as other border states historically have followed the Golden State’s lead when mapping out emissions standards.

While announcing the regulations passed, CARB Chair Liane Randolph stated: “Once again, California is leading the nation and the world with a regulation that sets ambitious but

achievable targets for ZEV sales. Rapidly accelerating the number of ZEVs on our roads and highways will deliver substantial emission and pollution reductions to all Californians, especially for those who live near roadways and suffer from persistent air pollution. The regulation includes ground-breaking strategies to bring ZEVs to more communities and is supported by the Governor’s ZEV budget, which provides incentives to make ZEVs available to the widest number of economic groups in California, including low- and moderateincome consumers.”

The announcement of California’s regulatory changes joined with the state’s new ZEV Market Development Strategy, is expected to invest an estimated $6 billion in funds to bolster ZEV awareness statewide over the next five years. This will make California the first legal jurisdiction in the country to independently build an environmental roadmap free from the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA enforcement. From here, CARB will submit the newly passed regulations to the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for final review and approval before seeking out a waiver from EPA, the final step required to guarantee the regulations meet federal and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

These new regulations were voted in only a couple of weeks after Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which will provide $370 billion in energy and climate investments for the next 10 years. Legal experts anticipate that upwards of 17 states, including Massachusetts and Virginia, could soon follow in California’s legislative footsteps and independently adopt emission-based regulations through their state-level processes.

Dedicating

more than 20 years of her legal career to employment law, Julie Dunne is currently working as an attorney and partner at DLA Piper LLP in San Diego, California, after joining the firm in 2020. A graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law in 1992, Dunne also serves as a full-time member of the National Retail Federation’s Committee on Employment Law and formerly served as the cochair of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the San Diego County Bar Association.

Dunne has been recognized by Best Lawyers® since 2011 for her work in Employment Law – Management and Litigation – Labor and Employment. Dunne is the 2023 “Lawyer of the Year” for Litigation – Labor and Employment in San Diego.

Dunne stated of legal experience in employment law: “I really appreciate the opportunity to represent employers. I have tremendous respect for people who run a business and provide job opportunities for others. There is a great deal of risk and stress involved when it comes to matters of labor and employment, including the stress of being able to keep employees on payroll and in a position to provide for their families. In my career, I’ve had the good fortune to represent employers who value and respect their employees while also abiding by the law. As a result, they have a strong focus on compliance, which has made my job defending those employers even easier and more rewarding.”

For two decades, Dunne has represented some of the retail industry’s leading employers in various employment-based legal matters. From defending employers in wage-and-hour class action suits to educating clients on updated provisions in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Dunne has experienced it all. As an attorney navigating California’s everchanging legal landscape, labor and employment laws are constantly in motion.

“California’s wage-and-hour law and the state of labor and employment, in general, are always changing. It seems that every year the California legislature is creating new wage-and-hour laws or expanding on pre-existing employment laws to improve standards for both the employer and employee. Oftentimes, these proposed employment laws, while beneficial, are not always the model of clarity when displayed in the courts. Sometimes this can cause conflicting interpretations of what the law requires and where employers stand. As a result, keeping clients informed of any changes in the current law while working to help them develop compliance and employment strategies for the future can be an ongoing challenge that requires continued attention.”

Enhancing Consumer Safety Through Winning Jury Trials and Substantial Settlements

Firm founder and lead trial lawyer James P. Frantz discusses how landmark victories in litigation and trial protect consumers.

FRANTZ LAW GROUP (FLG), proudly represents victims and their families who have suffered significant losses, injuries and death from tragic wildfires, gas blowouts, catastrophic roadway crashes and dangerous consumer products.

FLG is one of the most widely

understandably concerned about their health and may not realize that they have various legal rights,” says Frantz. “We approach our clients’ claims acknowledging how important their lives are and that we fight for compensation to hold the negligent wrongdoer accountable.”3

recognized powerhouse litigation/ trial law firms in the United States.

For more than 42 years, FLG has achieved winning jury verdicts and settlements in the billions of dollars for thousands of victims nationwide.2

“Following an injury, victims are

The firm’s humble beginnings date back to the late 1970s. Today, FLG has 16 lawyers and 30 staff members as well as 13 offices throughout California and Hawaii.

The firm’s success is attributable to hard work through four decades

of accumulated trial and litigation experience. For example, in a complex case, FLG typically assembles a mock trial and presents evidence from the plaintiff and defense. During the mock trial, the mock jurors provide their impressions of the quality, clarity and persuasiveness of the evidence. After hearing and watching argument from the plaintiff and defense (opening and closing arguments) and reviewing the evidence presented, as well as the Jury Instructions and Special Verdict Form, the verdict is rendered. The mock jury’s analysis and findings guide the firm to more precisely understand how most effectively to present legal theories of the case, the evidence, and witnesses. FLG forms a much keener understanding of the particular nuances of each case prior to the actual trial, thereby increasing the probability of a victory.

1 Results in other matters do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of the outcome of your legal matter. Results are dependent on the facts of each case, and the results may vary based on different facts. Various settlements were obtained working with co-counsel.

2 Case results mentioned herein, even if just general statements of recoveries, are not intended to be a guarantee or prediction of results in any other matters. Each case is dependent on its particular facts.

3 FLG works on a contingency fee basis and clients are not responsible to pay any fees and costs if there is no recovery.

EASTON & EASTON continued a 30-plus-year tradition of excellence in all areas of personal injury trial law as California courts safely reopened in 2022. The firm is led by 50-year veteran trial lawyer Douglas Easton and his sons and partners, Brian, Matt and Travis. The Eastons further solidified their reputation for leadership in and out of the courtroom this year—from representing clients in highstakes legal matters to forging partnerships with major league sports teams in an effort to create safer communities.

The firm’s lawyers have made an undeniable impact in Southern California, having secured more than $100 million in the past five years for victims who have suffered injuries or tragedies due to defective products, construction accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability and trucking and motor vehicle accidents.

“We are nearing resolutions in two challenging premises liability cases that were delayed due to the pandemic,” says Co-Managing Partner Brian Easton. One of the cases was rejected by several major law firms in Los Angeles due to the difficult and complex nature of the liability case. “So many other law firms passed on the case due to the difficulty level, and our poor client almost gave up. Fortunately, when she came to us, we knew the defendants had cut corners and trusted in our ability to find the evidence to prove it during the litigation.”

After more than five years of investigating and litigating the matter, the Eastons uncovered the truth, leading to a $7 million settlement for their client several weeks ago.

In another equally complex and challenging premises liability case involving numerous disputes over liability, employment status and

insurance coverages, the Eastons expect to acquire more than $25 million in the coming weeks for a client suffering from severe CRPS due to a construction site accident. “Here, the defense tried to get crafty and defeat our case by making certain claims about our client’s employment status at the time of the incident,” says Founding Partner Doug Easton. Ultimately, the Eastons used the defendant’s own arguments against them to establish strict liability. “The defendants were so blinded by their greed and deceitful efforts to evade liability that they never realized we were actually helping them build their own gallows along the way.”

The firm established an even stronger presence in the Orange County community outside the courtroom through two key strategic partnerships announced earlier this year.

Attorneys of the Anaheim Ducks.” This announcement allowed the firm to further its mission of creating safer communities. Co-Managing Partner Matt Easton noted that the firm would be the presenting partner for a joint community toy drive with the Ducks this holiday season, as well as for the “Designated Duck Driver Program,” which rewards fans that agree to be a designated driver at Ducks home games.

“As much as we love going to court to help our injured clients, we’d prefer they weren’t injured in the first place. Anything we can do to help promote safer roadways is a priority for us,” Co-Managing Partner Matt Easton says. “Often, we have insisted on improvements to dangerous roadways and properties as part of our case settlements in order to ensure that no one else would be injured like our client at those locations in the future. These partnerships with the Ducks and Angels allow us to further those efforts in the community by educating our neighbors about important issues like adequate underinsured motorist coverage and helping to encourage safe driving with designated drivers. We are confident these partnerships can help save even more lives in the community and hopefully prevent some accidents that we would have otherwise been asked to help make right after the fact.”

The Angels MLB team announced that Easton & Easton—whose partners are lifelong Angels fans—would be its new law firm partner and be featured on extensive branding on the in-stadium 360 LED marquees during games throughout the season.

The prestige moved from the diamond to the ice rink when the Anaheim Ducks named Easton & Easton the “Official Personal Injury

Given the firm’s pedigree for success and strong community ties, it’s not surprising they were recently selected by the Orange County Register’s Reader’s Choice Poll as Orange County’s “Best Law Firm” for 2022. “It’s a great honor that the people in the OC community recognized us in this way,” said Partner Travis Easton. “It confirms for us that all our efforts inside and outside the courtroom to make the community safer are making a difference.”

Carol Gillam heads The Gillam Law Firm, devoted principally to employment litigation and whistleblower rights. Since leaving her position as a federal prosecutor to start the firm in 1994, she has represented a panoply of C-suite executives, doctors, lawyers, accountants, professors, senior IT professionals, judges and senior public officials.

As a prosecutor, Carol investigated and obtained convictions in matters of securities fraud, public corruption, government fraud, tax and bankruptcy fraud, environmental crimes and in a host of other well-publicized cases.

Her tenacious courtroom skills are balanced by her extraordinary negotiating skills, which often allow clients to obtain outstanding results in confidential settings. An acclaimed trial lawyer, she has won significant cases in a variety of federal and state courts. Carol is well known for taking on and winning the most challenging of cases.

She often writes and speaks for national and statewide audiences and regularly appears on many prestigious “Best of” lists.

Carol is especially proud of her work advocating for women to break glass ceilings and achieve pay parity in traditionally male-dominated fields including finance, STEM and law enforcement. Her work for whistleblowers has resulted in securing important legal protections not only for her clients but for whistleblowers nationwide.

Toni Jaramilla is an employment and civil rights attorney, fighting for fair treatment in the workplace and against police brutality. She is widely recognized for her court room success, her activism, and her acumen in fostering change in Sacramento and her local community. Since 1994, she has successfully litigated hundreds of cases of discrimination, racial and sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and unpaid wages on behalf of employees. Her police abuse and wrongful death cases have often drawn media attention. This past year, Jaramilla was instrumental in Governor Newsom signing into law, important #MeToo inspired legislation through her lobbying and testifying at the Capital in order to achieve far reaching protections for California workers. Jaramilla has a 26-year history of tenacious litigation resulting in millions of dollars in judgments, verdicts, and settlements. She stands as a model example of a successful attorney and woman of color within the plaintiff employment bar. She is tenacious not only in seeking full justice for her clients but also systemic changes in the workplace that benefit all. She is a frequent speaker on educational panels and radio shows regarding employment law, civil rights, trials, and diversity in the legal profession.

“ONES TO WATCH” AWARDS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years.

Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
