A consummate professional who delivered justice for our family

After our family was impacted by a defective medical device, we were overwhelmed and uncertain. From our first consultation, Mr. Arbitblit demonstrated a profound command of complex mass tort litigation. His methodical approach, honed over his 13-year career at Lieff Cabraser, was immediately evident. He patiently explained the intricacies of class action procedure, translating legal complexities into clear, actionable information. His background from UC Berkeley Law and his recent recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in San Francisco were not just credentials; they translated directly into a strategic advantage for our case. The settlement he secured has provided us with crucial security and a sense of closure. We felt represented by an attorney whose expertise in plaintiff-side litigation is truly top-tier.
