Firm Overview
LITIGATION SERVICES
Sims Law Firm, LLP has been in existence since February 2009, when the firm’s five partners took over the operations of Sims Law Firm, a California general civil litigation firm that had been in existence for more than 20 years. Each of the partners at Sims Law Firm, LLP, had practiced at the predecessor defense firm for a decade or more. Further, each of the firm’s partners has at least 20 years’ legal experience in defending a wide variety of personal injury and property damage matters. The firm’s lawyers are dedicated to assisting self-insured corporations, businesses and insurance companies with the handling and resolution of claims and lawsuits in many different practice areas, including the following: common carrier liability; Federal Employers’ Liability Act matters; motor vehicle and commercial trucking accidents; public and private railroad grade crossing accidents; product liability; catastrophic injuries; toxic tort and asbestos exposure liability; premises liability; fire loss liability; litigation arising out of employment disputes; professional negligence; and business disputes.
APPROACH TO LITIGATION
Most of our clients are corporations that do business throughout the United States and in almost every part of California. Each client is unique, which requires that we tailor a defense strategy to a particular client’s legal problems and needs. Regardless of the client or nature of the claim or lawsuit, however, our approach to each matter is guided by the following:
  •   Early review to pinpoint specific problem areas or challenges to resolution
  • Timely communication with the client concerning defense strategy and anticipated costs
  • Effective representation performed with the highest degree of professionalism
  • Regular reporting to the client concerning all major developments and claim or case evaluation
  • Defense of the matter through trial and appeal
  • A resolution which meets the expectations and goals of the client
While the firm’s associates may work on a matter with a partner, the partner retains primary responsibility for day-to-day handling and formulation of a strategy for a claim or lawsuit. We strive to provide a defense that is built upon prompt investigation of the claim or lawsuit, a thoughtful and managed discovery plan, and when appropriate, the use of forensic expert witnesses in various technical and medical fields. Throughout our many years of experience, we have learned that the best way to handle a matter is through team work and open communications. For this reason, we engage our clients in frequent discussions about defense strategy, claim or case evaluation and cost management. Sims Law Firm, LLP has the experience and resources to solve the legal problems you or your company faces every day in the aggressive litigation landscape that is California. We are equipped to provide the personalized kind of service that assures clients that their matters are being handled in an organized, effective and cost-efficient manner.
