Personal Note
The California workers’ compensation system is an ever-changing establishment. With new case law and interpretations of exiting law issuing frequently, there is never a dull moment in this area of expertise. As attorneys, we have to be open to new challenges, willing to learn, and be flexible with our thought processes in order to provide the best results for our clients.
