We are founded on the principle of advocacy first. We believe our job is to be your voice and give you back your power. We are not just interested in settling a case; we are interested in achieving justice for you.

Yes, we offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your legal matter. This allows us to understand your situation and explain how we can help.

You can call us directly at (626) 966-6567 or email us at joanna@plalawcorp.com to schedule your appointment.

Your health and safety are the top priority. Seek medical attention right away. If possible, document the scene with photos and gather witness information. Then, contact us before speaking to any insurance company.

Your health is the priority. First, seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine—some injuries appear later. If you can, take photos of the scene, the cars, and any visible injuries, and get the names and contact info of any witnesses. Most importantly, before you talk to any insurance company, call us. We’ll advise you on what to say to protect your rights and we can start our investigation immediately. We serve clients all across the SGV, from Pasadena to Pomona.

You don’t pay us anything upfront. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means we only get paid if we win or settle your case and put money in your pocket. Our fee is a percentage of the final recovery, so you can focus on healing without worrying about legal bills. Your initial consultation with us is always 100% free and confidential.

We fight to ensure you recover for everything you’ve lost. This includes your current and future medical bills (hospital stays, surgery, physical therapy), the wages you lost while recovering, and pain and suffering—the physical and emotional toll the injury has taken on your life. We dig deep to investigate the property owner’s negligence and build a case that demands full, fair compensation, not just a quick offer.

Yes, absolutely. California follows a legal rule called “pure comparative negligence.” This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation would simply be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could still recover $80,000. Insurance companies will try to blame you as much as possible, so it’s critical to have an advocate who will fight to minimize your fault and maximize your recovery.

Losing a family member is devastating, and the last thing you need is a legal battle. In a wrongful death claim, we can help you pursue compensation for things like funeral and burial expenses, loss of the loved one’s future income, and the loss of companionship and support they provided. We handle these sensitive cases with the utmost compassion while aggressively pursuing justice against the responsible parties, so your family can focus on grieving and healing.

The statute of limitations is a strict legal deadline. For most personal injury claims, like car accidents or slip and falls, you generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you lose your right to ever seek compensation. There are some exceptions, so it’s crucial to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your claim. If you’re reading this, don’t wait—call us today.

Truck accidents are far more complex. They involve not just the truck driver, but often a trucking company, a cargo loader, and a manufacturer. These are commercial cases with massive insurance policies, and the companies have teams of lawyers whose goal is to protect their bottom line. We have the experience to handle these powerful opponents, investigate federal safety regulation violations, and uncover all liable parties to ensure you get the full compensation you deserve.

Yes, we’ve partnered with Mansour Legal Services Global (MLS Global) APC specifically to help our clients with these needs. Through this partnership, we can connect you with expert guidance for family petitions, work visas, green cards, and citizenship. Led by Choucri “Chuck” Mansour, we ensure you have access to trusted, specialized representation for your immigration matters, so you don’t have to start your search over with another firm.

You might be tempted to handle it yourself, especially if the damage seems minor. But here’s the risk: insurance adjusters are trained to save their company money. A seemingly minor accident can lead to hidden injuries (like back or neck pain) that show up days or weeks later. If you settle too quickly, you’re stuck with those bills. Let us handle the communication. A free consultation with us ensures you don’t accidentally sign away your rights to fair compensation for a fraction of its worth.

It means we can be your single point of contact for a wider range of legal challenges. At Powerhouse Legal Advocate, our core focus is being your fierce advocate for personal injury. But we know life is complex. If you’re starting a business, need a contract reviewed, or require immigration help, we have a trusted partner—MLS Global—to provide expert guidance. This collaboration allows us to recommend someone we know and trust, ensuring you receive seamless, high-quality support for virtually any legal need.

Q: Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire your firm?

A: No. We handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and no out-of-pocket costs to get started.

Q: What exactly is a contingency fee?

A: A contingency fee means our attorneys only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you. Our fee comes from a percentage of your settlement or verdict—never from your pocket while your case is pending.

Q: What happens if we don’t win my case?

A: If we do not recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing in attorney fees. It’s that simple.

Q: Will I have to pay for things like court costs or expert witnesses if we lose?

A: This depends on your specific fee agreement, and we will always explain everything in writing so there are no surprises. Many firms cover case-related expenses upfront and only recoup them if you win. We make sure you understand all potential costs before you sign anything.

Q: How much will I pay if we win my case?

A: The percentage varies depending on the complexity of your case. Typically, personal injury contingency fees range from 33% to 40% of the total recovery, with our fee structure clearly outlined in your written agreement before we begin working on your case.

Q: Do you offer free consultations?

A: Yes. We offer free, no-obligation case consultations to review your situation and explain your legal options.
