Whether injuries are incurred because of the negligence of others in a motor vehicle collision, slip and fall accident, a dog bite, or other such incident, victims deserve fair and just compensation for not only the physical injuries, but also the pain and suffering that sadly accompanies such injuries. Compensation may include, but is not limited to, loss of income (past, present & future), medical expenses for past, present AND future billings, and property damages connected to the negligent act. Even in these trying times victims often come to learn that insurance companies (both the wrong-doer’s and even their own) are more concerned about safeguarding their own ‘all-mighty dollar,’ and less concerned about helping victims to become whole again. The Law Offices of DENNIS JAMES BALSAMO, A Professional Law Corporation utilizes a different approach. In recognition of those who have been wronged, our firm represents these types of cases with a choice of retainers: (1) on an hourly basis; or (2) on a CONTINGENCY BASIS – meaning ‘IF THERE IS NO RECOVERY, THERE ARE NO ATTORNEY FEES’ owed to our firm. Over the years Mr. Balsamo has concentrated his skills on a range of personal injury matters, and has consistently managed to help his clients receive thousands of dollars more than they otherwise would have received without his services. He has settled most of his cases prior to the filing of a lawsuit, and the vast majority of the others he has settled prior to trial. In no other practice area of our firm does our motto “Big Enough to Help You – Yet Small Enough to Care” subscribe such emphasis on our approach. The Law Offices of DENNIS JAMES BALSAMO, A Professional Law Corporation will help you demonstrate to the insurance companies that you are more than just a statistic. You DESERVE fair and equitable compensation under the law, and we are willing to fight to forward the probability of you obtaining a just and satisfactory settlement. CIVIL LITIGATION - CONTRACT, CREDIT, UNLAWFUL DETAINER/EVICTION & MISCELLANEOUS DISPUTES The average person does not relish the idea of becoming involved in a lawsuit, but when rational minds cannot come to an agreement, the best course of action to protect your rights is to seek judicial intervention. Our firm is committed to helping our clients represent their views, not only to their adversaries, but to the Courts as well. The Law Office of DENNIS JAMES BALSAMO, A Professional Law Corporation, offers a NO CHARGE initial consultation to discuss disputes.

Whether you are considering a lawsuit or are being subjected to defend against a lawsuit, let The Law Offices of DENNIS JAMES BALSAMO, A Professional Law Corporation help guide you down the busy highway that the California Court system has become.
Should you die in the State of California without a Will, the State will determine what becomes of your estate. The unfortunate consequence of lacking a directive may result in your property going to people you may not otherwise want to get your property, or escheat to the State of California itself. But you can avoid the government’s involvement in the distribution of your estate by careful estate planning followed by the production of a mindfully prepared Will and/or Trust. Mr. Balsamo has personally drafted hundreds of Wills and Trusts, and his keen insight in this area of law can be of tremendous assistance to both the concerned client, and their loved ones who require such future protections and/or assistance. The Law Office of DENNIS JAMES BALSAMO, A Professional Law Corporation, offers a NO CHARGE initial consultation to discuss estate planning with potential clients. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your estate plans with you, and to guide you into the confidence of a thoughtful direction. Further, when the need arises for either a Probate or a Trust Administration, our firm’s experience in these matters can help alleviate the difficulties and complexities from those who may still be grieving.
