California trial practice
Berhe Law was founded on a single principle: serious cases deserve direct attorney judgment, not a volume system. High-value contingency work turns on early evidence, credible damages, leverage, and readiness to litigate when the other side refuses to value the claim fairly.
That posture applies across the firm's core practice areas: catastrophic injury, wrongful death, workplace claims, civil rights violations, consumer protection, insurance disputes, and other select civil matters where the stakes justify contingency counsel.
Contingency law requires selectivity: identifying the matters that warrant serious attorney investment, preparing them correctly, and applying pressure where it counts. Berhe Law case-evaluation standard
Many matters are handled on contingency, meaning attorney's fees are paid from a recovery. Some matters may require a different written fee arrangement depending on the claim, the forum, and the work required.
Practice areas
A multi-practice firm built around serious contingency cases.
Berhe Law evaluates matters across several plaintiff-side practice areas. The common thread is case value, provable harm, and whether focused attorney work can improve leverage.
Employment & Workplace Claims
Wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage-and-hour, and related plaintiff-side matters.
Civil Rights
Rights-based claims and government-accountability matters reviewed carefully for facts, damages, deadlines, and fit.
Consumer Protection
Lemon Law, deceptive practices, defective products, and statutory-fee matters reviewed for leverage and fit.
Insurance Bad Faith
Coverage denials, unreasonable delay, low-value claim handling, and serious disputes with insurers.
Truck, Fleet & Rideshare
Commercial transportation cases involving company policies, driver records, insurance layers, and rapid evidence preservation.
Catastrophic Injury
Brain, spine, burn, amputation, and long-recovery cases requiring medical, life-care, and damages analysis.
Select Civil Litigation
High-stakes business tort, fraud, and civil disputes considered case-by-case for contingency or hybrid structures.
Co-Counsel & Referrals
Matters outside the firm's immediate scope may be evaluated for co-counsel, referral, or coordinated litigation support.
How it works
Three steps. Serious evaluation before anything is signed.
The first question is not just whether something went wrong. It is whether the facts, damages, defendant, and available remedies justify a contingency case strategy.
Case screening
A direct review of the basic facts, deadlines, responsible parties, damages, and whether the matter fits the firm's contingency focus.
We build leverage
We identify evidence early, preserve records, evaluate damages, and position the file for negotiation, litigation, or co-counsel where appropriate.
We negotiate or litigate
We pursue a fair recovery through settlement, and litigate when the defense position does not reflect the evidence and harm involved.
Free case review. Select contingency matters. No obligation to retain.

Frequently asked
Honest answers, before you call.
Below are the questions most people ask in the first conversation. There is no obligation, and no charge, to ask the rest by phone.
How much does a case review cost?
Nothing. The initial review is free. Most accepted matters are handled on contingency, meaning attorney's fees are paid from a recovery if there is one.
How long do I have to act?
Deadlines vary by practice area. Some claims can require action in months, especially matters involving public entities, employment agencies, or government defendants. The safest move is to ask quickly.
What types of cases does Berhe Law review?
The firm reviews serious injury, wrongful death, employment, civil rights, consumer, insurance, and select civil litigation matters. If the case is outside the firm's focus, Berhe Law may suggest co-counsel or referral options.
Will my case go to trial?
Many cases resolve before trial, but leverage usually improves when a file is prepared as if litigation is possible. Trial posture depends on the facts, defendants, damages, and available evidence.
What does Berhe Law charge?
Most accepted matters are handled on contingency. Some matters may require a hybrid, hourly, statutory-fee, or referral arrangement. Specific terms are discussed in writing before representation begins.
What makes a case a strong contingency fit?
Strong contingency matters usually involve clear liability, recoverable damages, a defendant or insurance source that can pay, and evidence that can be developed into negotiation or litigation leverage.
