In January 2023 he set a Contra Costa County record with a jury verdict of more than $5.1 million ($7.67 million with prejudgment interest) for an immigrant mother of three struck in a crosswalk whose mild traumatic brain injury went undiagnosed for five years. His other results include $42 million in a disputed vicarious liability delivery truck case, $18.7 million for a man struck by a park ranger, $15 million against Caltrans over a negligently constructed highway, and a $2.5 million Van Nuys verdict believed to be a courthouse record for mild traumatic brain injury. The Daily Journal named him one of California's Top 40 lawyers under 40 in 2023.
Proven verdicts and settlements
Matthew Greene, a restaurant and bar owner, ran to help his sister when four men, twin brothers Maurice and Alberto Driz, Maurice's son Shawn Driz, and their friend William Joelson, knocked her unconscious outside the Nice Guy restaurant in West Hollywood at about 1:30 a.m. on April 17, 2015, after she tried to stop them beating a photographer. He was beaten and left with a fractured spine and post-traumatic stress disorder. After a three-week trial in July 2021 in which the four defendants represented themselves, a Los Angeles Superior Court jury awarded him $17.9 million in compensatory damages, found malice, and assessed about $20.2 million in punitive damages against the four men. The siblings' combined award was $72,645,492; a third victim won $8.9 million separately.
