We're Not Just Lawyers,
We're Problem Solvers

Legal matters are all too easy to misstep. After an injury, many victims accept compensation far below what they are truly owed – or make a single misstatement that bars them from receiving any compensation at all. If not managed correctly, a business dispute can lead to litigation that takes on a life of its own, sapping time and resources while casting a long shadow over the future. 

To avoid lasting damage, you need proven advocates to protect your legal and financial interests.

Our attorneys at Landay Roberts LLP in San Diego have the big-firm pedigree you need, without the high costs. Whether you are a plaintiff or defendant, our attorneys will leverage their years handling multimillion-dollar litigation to your advantage.

Personal Injury Lawyer

When you are injured due to another party's negligent actions, you deserve compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial harm you have suffered. But the payments offered by insurance companies are all too often far below what you actually need and deserve. Our personal injury attorneys will fight for a fair settlement, and are prepared to go to trial if necessary to win the compensation you need to move forward.

Proven Results

$2.3 Million Settlement

Our attorneys assisted in the representation of multiple elderly plaintiffs defrauded in a Ponzi scheme. The case, which included a four-month jury trial, resulted in more than $2.3 million awarded by the jury for the senior citizens. 


Successful Defense

Our San Diego law firm successfully defended clients in a case in which almost $1 million hung in the balance. The case involved private equity investments with a securities brokerage firm, and the plaintiffs were demanding a six-figure settlement. Our attorneys won all of their pre-trial motions, which led to a nominal settlement and the dismissal of the lawsuit.


Thousands Won for Students

In a class-action lawsuit, our San Diego law firm won hundreds of thousands of dollars in restitution for more than 2,000 California paramedic students in a case against the National College of Technical Instruction (NCTI). 

"Mr. Landay assisted my dad and I with a case a couple years ago and we have not forgotten about this man. He was very thorough, direct, and helpful throughout the entire process. My dad doesn’t tend to trust many attorneys, but ended up trusting Mr. Landay due to the professionalism we experienced from him." Melvin
