“Our case was excellently handled in the most empathetic and professional manner by Tobin and Santo.
Tobin was always available to answer questions and support us in any way necessary. His attention to details and strategy for navigating the case with multiple defendants was crucial to the successful outcome of our case.
His investigation of our case was thorough, and he was always prepared to deal with any issues that could arise. We were also very prepared to understand all the next steps in our case and to understand the legal process of settlement.
Tobin Ellis is an upstanding citizen, moral and ethical. My family and I would recommend Ellis Riccobono Trial Lawyers to anyone needing support and wanting a positive outcome with a difficult legal situation.”

Do I need a trial lawyer for a personal injury case?
A trial-ready lawyer can make a meaningful difference in a personal injury case. Insurance companies often evaluate claims based on whether a law firm is prepared to take the case to trial.

Compensation may include medical expenses, future treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, and other damages. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also pursue compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most California personal injury cases, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. However, some claims have shorter deadlines, including cases involving government entities or dangerous public property. Speaking with an attorney as soon as possible helps protect your rights.
