The attorneys of Gwilliam, Ivary, Chiosso, Cavalli & Brewer have been helping spinal cord injury victims in Oakland and the Bay Area, Northern California and beyond since 1978. Through hard work, meticulous preparation and our willingness to take cases to trial when necessary, we have been able to help many spinal cord victims and their families receive the compensation needed to deal with enormous lifetime medical costs and to enhance their quality of life.

Developing a detailed and comprehensive Life Care Plan is absolutely critical in any spinal cord injury case. An effective Life Care Plan requires an in-depth, expert analysis of expected future medical costs, procedures, prescription drugs, equipment, replacement schedules, home remodeling needs and many other considerations. We will work closely with a variety of experts and consultants in this regard to create the best possible plan.

Our experience and results in successfully resolving spinal cord cases have not gone unnoticed. The majority of our cases have been referred to us by other attorneys and firms in northern California and beyond. In each case, we assign a legal team that includes one of the firm's partners (someone with anywhere from 25 to 40 years of trial experience), a paralegal and a secretary. This team provides prompt answers to our clients’ questions and concerns.
