These local insurance attorneys know who is a serious courtroom threat, and they know which attorneys are from out of town. If you’ve been injured in the North Bay or Wine Country, then your case will be in our local courts, and you don’t want to start off bringing some out-of-town law firm against a hometown insurance attorney.”
