A sudden severe injury turns someone's world upside down. Getting up, showering, and dressing, become torture. Inability to work and medical bills strain family finances to the limit. Insurance companies call good people liars and spy on them, just because they make an honest claim.

Alex has worked a lifetime as a personal injury attorney to get justice for people hurt in traffic crashes and other accidents, successfully taking on multi-billion dollar insurance companies. His practice emphasizes civil litigation including personal injury, products liability, insurance, class action disputes, and probate, wills, trusts, and probate litigation.

He has won the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego coveted "Outstanding Advocate Award." Alex has served as a judge pro temp for the San Diego County Superior Court, led workshops for the San Diego Inns of Court, and has hundreds of hours of special training through Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyers College.

Alex was recently selected for inclusion in the San Diego edition of Super Lawyers magazine for his work on personal injury cases. He is a respected member of the plaintiff's bar and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego, which is the local chapter of the American Trial Lawyers Association.

Alex has been recognized by the Consumer Attorneys for his "Dedication to his clients rights and demonstrations of standards of excellence," for his work on six different cases and has earned the Organization's highest honor, an "Outstanding Advocacy Award," for his work in State Farm v. Renko, where he proved by clear and convincing evidence that a beneficiary designation in a life insurance policy was obtained by coercion. Among Alex's jury trial victories are Rivas v. City of San Diego, a case in which his client was injured at a job site and received a jury award of $432,250 (the defendant's best offer was $60,000) and Sarantos v. Heavenly Oaks. In the Sarantos matter he represented the listing real estate broker for the sale of a mobile home park. His client was awarded $140,000 in attorneys fees (prior to trial, Alex's client had offered to pay the opposition $10,000 in order to avoid the expense of a four week jury trial).

Alex has served as an arbitrator on behalf of the San Diego Superior Court and for uninsured motorist cases. Alex has been a lecturer for the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego, teaching other attorneys.

Alex graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He then attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He has maintained offices in San Diego County, CA, since his admission to the bar in 1977. He has been trying civil jury trials in San Diego since 1979.

In addition to his law related activities, Alex has served on the board of directors for several community groups to make San Diego a better place, including spending 13 out of the last 14 Thanksgivings working for the Salvation Army, serving dinner for those in need.
