When people meet me for the first time, they often do a double take. Yes, I’m a lawyer that works in the field of personal injury law—and yes, I also compete in powerlifting. You might think these worlds couldn’t be more different, but the truth is: the discipline, focus, and mental toughness I’ve gained in the gym are the exact same qualities I bring into the courtroom for my clients in the field of personal injury law.
For residents of Pasadena, Alhambra, and the San Gabriel Valley, where car accidents, pedestrian injuries, and workplace incidents are unfortunately common, working with a lawyer who brings strength—both mental and physical—can make all the difference.
The Weight of a Personal Injury Case
Every personal injury case is a battle. You’re up against insurance companies trained to minimize payouts. The California Office of Traffic Safety reported that in 2023, Pasadena had over 950 traffic-related injuries and fatalities, many involving pedestrians and cyclists. Alhambra and surrounding areas in the San Gabriel Valley also report hundreds of similar incidents every year.
When you’ve been injured, your life is suddenly filled with doctor’s appointments, lost wages, and emotional stress. That’s where I step in—not just as your lawyer, but as your advocate.
What Powerlifting Teaches That Applies to Personal Injury Law
Discipline is Everything
In powerlifting, you don’t show up on meet day and lift your personal best without months of training and planning. The same applies to litigation. I prepare every case methodically—from investigating the accident scene to consulting expert witnesses and medical professionals. I don’t cut corners, and neither should you when it comes to your legal representation.
Mental Toughness in High-Stakes Situations
Whether you’re approaching the bar for a 600-lb deadlift or standing in front of a jury, there’s no room for self-doubt. Personal injury litigation often involves combative negotiations and aggressive defense tactics. My mindset: never back down from a challenge—especially when someone’s health, recovery, and future are on the line.
Measurable Results Matter
In lifting, success is measured in pounds. In law, it’s in settlements won and justice served. My firm has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients in the San Gabriel Valley, helping them get their lives back on track.
Real Strength Is Advocating for the Injured
One client from Alhambra suffered a traumatic brain injury after a motorcycle accident caused by a distracted driver. He was being pressured by the insurance company to settle quickly. We pushed back, built a powerful case with expert medical testimony, and secured a seven-figure settlement that helped cover long-term care and lost earning capacity.
That wasn’t luck. That was preparation, strength, and strategy—qualities I’ve honed both in the gym and in the courtroom.
If You’ve Been Injured, Here’s What You Should Do
- Get medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay.
- Document the scene—take photos, gather witness info.
- Do not talk to the insurance company without legal representation.
- Call a trusted local attorney who knows how to fight—and win.
Final Thoughts: Why Strength Matters in Law
Being strong doesn’t just mean lifting weights. It means standing up for people who’ve been knocked down. It means going the extra mile in research, discovery, and negotiation. And it means never letting a client be bullied by big insurance.
If you’re in Pasadena, Alhambra, or anywhere in the San Gabriel Valley and you or a loved one has been injured, know this: you don’t have to carry the burden alone. Let me do the heavy lifting—inside and outside the courtroom.
