Booth Law - Oakland, CA

Elite Trial Advocacy for Catastrophic Injuries and Injustice

When tragedy strikes due to severe negligence, corporate wrongdoing, or institutional failure, victims need trial attorneys with the skill to take on powerful adversaries. Booth Law provides dedicated representation throughout Northern California from its Oakland office on 17th Street. Established in 1984, the firm has built a four-decade legacy of achieving justice in high-stakes civil litigation, recovering hundreds of millions of dollars for injured clients.

Led by veteran trial attorney Roger Booth, a graduate of UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall), and acclaimed partner Carly Sanchez, Booth Law does not operate as a volume-driven settlement mill. Instead, the firm intentionally accepts a limited number of serious cases each year. This selective approach guarantees that every catastrophic injury, wrongful death, or civil rights lawsuit receives exhaustive factual investigation, elite forensic expert consultation, and relentless trial preparation.

Specialized Practice Areas and Litigation Services

Booth Law represents plaintiffs in complex matters where damages are substantial and liability requires deep courtroom expertise. Core litigation areas include:

• Catastrophic Personal Injury: Representing individuals who have sustained traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord trauma, severe burns, limb amputations, and permanent disabilities.
• Wrongful Death Actions: Helping surviving family members hold negligent individuals, public transit agencies, and multinational corporations accountable for fatal accidents.
• Institutional Abuse and Child Protection: Serving as California leading advocates holding child welfare agencies, school districts, and foster care institutions liable for failing to protect vulnerable youth.
• Commercial Truck and Car Accidents: Litigating high-impact highway collisions caused by semi-truck driver fatigue, distracted driving, speed violations, and commercial carrier safety infractions.
• Dangerous Conditions of Public Property: Holding municipalities, Caltrans, and state agencies accountable for defective roadway designs, inadequate traffic signals, and hazardous infrastructure.
• Defective Products and Premises Liability: Seeking compensation from manufacturers of dangerous consumer products and negligent commercial property owners.

Holding Government Entities and Corporations Accountable

Suing governmental agencies or massive corporations requires an intricate knowledge of sovereign immunity exceptions, government claims presentation deadlines, and complex civil procedure. Booth Law has established record-setting verdicts against counties, public school districts, and municipalities across California, forcing systemic policy reforms that safeguard communities. When you need to hire a personal injury lawyer or find an experienced wrongful death attorney in Oakland, Booth Law offers the trial tenacity necessary to overcome formidable defense tactics.

Client-Focused Contingency-Fee Representation

Catastrophic injuries create overwhelming emotional and financial strain. Booth Law operates entirely on a contingency-fee basis, ensuring that financial status never stands between an injured person and premier legal counsel. Clients pay no out-of-pocket costs, and legal fees are only collected if the firm secures a financial recovery through negotiated settlement or court verdict. The firm provides 24-hour accessibility, ensuring clients receive immediate guidance when crises occur.
