About Us

Justice For The Injured

Active, Attentive & Effective Representation

Over the past 30 years, we’ve successfully handled complex workers’ compensation and personal injury claims, including more than 40 workers’ compensation cases exceeding $1 million each.

This experience allows us to focus on outcomes, not slogans — helping injured workers ease financial pressure through clear communication and steady guidance.

While we can’t speed up recovery, we work to secure compensation and access to medical care so clients can take the time they need to heal after a work-related injury or the wrongful death of a loved one.

Problem

Being Injured Changes Everything.

You’re dealing with pain, medical appointments, reduced income, and a system that doesn’t explain itself clearly.

Your employer says one thing. The insurance company says another. And you’re left wondering what actually applies to you.

Most injured workers don’t feel angry at first. They feel confused. Drained. Unsure who to trust.

That’s normal.

We’ve been serving injured workers since the firm was founded, focused on clear problem-solving and practical resolution.

You don’t need to argue with insurers.

You don’t need to guess what’s fair or what comes next.

We handle the complexity, explain every step in plain language, and protect your interests while you focus on your recovery.

Testimonials

What our clients say.

Michael Rott is very knowledgeable and he accomplished a daunting task in turning my case around from the negligence and incompetence of my previous attorney. This was a long, arduous fight and my case was resolved bringing me what I truly deserved.

— Lori C.

Brian Dougherty is a consummate professional. He is through, knowledgeable, reassuring, and kind. He has provided assistance and guidance to me and my family when we needed it most. I don’t know what we would have done without him. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

— Jennifer A.

Mr. Ring made this very stressful process very easy and comfortable and professional. He explained everything to me and was very quick to respond when I had any questions or concerns and helped me. I would highly recommend him.

— Shirley G.

I would recommend Mr. Rott. He is very friendly, open and honest, he answered all my questions and is on top of every situation and gets things done!

— Drew H.

I spoke with Dave Hiden a couple of weeks ago. I had some concerns I wanted to inquire about. He not only took the time to help me though I hadn’t even retained him. He just directed me with suggestions and also helped me by writing an email that I could use for reference. He was amazing, thoughtful and followed up. He did not have to do that. It shows me a lot about his character and this firm. Thank you Dave.

— Jen R.

I had a brain injury on 2015 and I hired a lawyer that didn’t try to get me treatment at all and wanted to settle for 600k. A year later I met Michael Rott and he promised me my treatment and a better settlement. Just as promised, he got all treatment I needed, transportation, homecare, and an electric wheelchair. We always had great and fast communication. He is such a nice person; I’ll be forever thankful he settled my case for 2 million including a life pension. Don’t think twice to hire him he will get you every penny your case is worth. I definitely recommend him top lawyer in San Diego for worker’s compensation.

— Patricio

David Hiden is the consummate professional when providing legal services and advisement. He has been quite accessible, understanding, and supportive of me through a personal court case. I strongly recommend the awesome services he provides to his clients. He has continued to support me whenever I have questions or concerns.

— Ydur C.

Excellent attorney!! He handled the case professionally. He is considerate of my feeling. He is also very efficient. I highly recommend him.

— Tony

I can’t begin to thank Michael and his amazing staff for everything they’ve done for our family. My husband suffered a horrific accident and after being turned down by multiple firms, Michael took our case. Our lives have completely changed for the better. He was always a phone call away whenever I needed him and explained everything to make sure we always knew exactly what was going on. He walked us through every phase of the case, My husband and our family were always his main priority, he’s fought for us and continues to do so and for that I will forever be grateful.

— Alexis

Case Study

A Historic Workers’ Compensation
Result in California.

Rafael Pineda’s case was turned down by five law firms.

He was told there was no case because his injury happened while commuting.

We found the exception.

We proved the injury qualified as a work-related accident and that responsibility applied.

The insurance company’s first offer was $10,000.

After depositions, trial, and an appeal, the case was resolved for $13.2 million — a historic workers’ compensation settlement in California, negotiated by Michael Rott, Esq.
