What Type Of Lawyer
Do You Want In Your Corner?

People in dire straits seek assistance from attorneys every day. They are struggling and looking for real help. Sadly, many attorneys make false promises of lucrative compensation awards. They tell clients what they want to hear, which often leads to disenchantment later on when the lawyer has to explain what the case is really worth.

Do you want your attorney to tell you what you want to hear or one who will tell it to you straight?

An Attorney
Who Knows Both Personal Injury Law And California Workers’ Compensation

Many attorneys in San Diego handle personal injury cases but may not have the knowledge to help with overlapping workers’ comp claims. Given the unique differences in both areas of law, wouldn’t it be beneficial to hire an experienced attorney with the experience and skill to handle both?

Certified Legal Specialist
In Workers’ Compensation Law

I am a Certified Legal Specialist in Workers’ Compensation Law by The State Bar of California. This certification is given only to attorneys who have gone above and beyond the standard licensing requirements.

Certified attorneys must demonstrate expertise in a specific area of law, pass a rigorous exam, and get appraisal from fellow lawyers and judges in that field.

In many cases, individuals are hurt at work and need help filing a workers’ comp claim, contacting doctors and other aspects of the process. They also need help filing a crossover claim – one in which a third party is sued to collect additional compensation.

I have the experience to handle both.

“Working with Scott was a wonderful experience. Suffice it to say that Scott and his staff were on top of the W/C folks at every turn and did the extraordinary navigation for us. Thank the good Lord we had the foresight to have Scott by our side.”

“Scott Blumen and his professional, very kind, knowledgeable, understanding staff were able to get all the medical attention I needed, To Scott Blumen my physical future being was more important than just settling. I was able to heal well in less than a year at which time he was able to get us a well deserved, nice settlement from the insurance company. Of course, it was not the money that mattered, it was my future health and recovery. But of course, the money was well needed and appreciated after going through so much. “
