Four Decades of Superior Injury Advocacy in Oakland
When unexpected negligence causes severe bodily injury or the tragic loss of a family member, you need to find a lawyer who combines decades of courtroom mastery with personal dedication. Established in 1985, The Choi Law Firm is located at 1999 Harrison Street in downtown Oakland, representing clients throughout Alameda County, San Francisco, and the wider East Bay. Led by principal attorney Steven Choi, a graduate of UC Berkeley and UC Law San Francisco and former Judge Pro Tem for Alameda County, the firm has successfully represented more than 15,000 Bay Area clients. With a career spanning over four decades, Steven Choi personally oversees cases, applying advanced trial strategies and legal artificial intelligence to expedite proceedings and maximize financial recoveries.
Comprehensive Traffic and Highway Collision Representation
Collisions on crowded Bay Area thoroughfares frequently cause devastating consequences, from brain trauma to permanent spinal injury. As experienced car accident lawyers, motorcycle accident lawyers, and public transportation accident lawyers, The Choi Law Firm holds careless drivers, trucking companies, and transit operators strictly liable. The practice has recovered major settlements in high-profile vehicle collisions, including a $6 million recovery in a defective highway median crash and a $1.8 million result against a municipal tour bus. Clients who hire an attorney from the practice benefit from aggressive negotiation against resistant insurers and meticulous accident reconstruction from day one.
Dedicated Advocacy for Pedestrians and Bicycle Victims
Oakland pedestrians and bicycle riders face immense vulnerability along busy traffic corridors and transit centers. Serving as determined pedestrian injury lawyers, Steven Choi has secured substantial multi-million-dollar verdicts for pedestrians struck by public buses and distracted drivers, including a $5 million settlement for an injured commuter. When individuals need a lawyer urgently following a traumatic crosswalk impact or roadside crash, the firm takes immediate action to gather traffic camera footage, interview witnesses, and collaborate with orthopedic and neurological specialists to substantiate lifetime care needs.
Premises Hazards, Dangerous Trees, and Product Defects
Property owners and product manufacturers have a legal duty to keep individuals safe from preventable hazards. The Choi Law Firm features skilled slip and fall injury lawyers and defective product injury lawyers who hold commercial landlords, retailers, and corporations accountable. The firm has handled notable tort actions involving hazardous stairs, toxic exposures, falling trees resulting in wrongful death, and malfunctioning consumer machinery. By working with safety engineers and forensic investigators, Steven Choi establishes clear chains of liability to secure justice for injured victims.
Standing Up for Workers in Employment and Harassment Disputes
Beyond personal injury claims, The Choi Law Firm advocates for employees subjected to unlawful workplace conditions. The firm provides skilled counsel as wrongful termination lawyers, workplace discrimination lawyers, and harassment lawyers, challenging employers who retaliate against whistleblowers, deny medical accommodations, or foster hostile work environments. Backed by a strict no fee until we win policy, The Choi Law Firm ensures that justice remains accessible to every client regardless of their current financial situation.
Uncompromising Representation for Wrongful Death Survivors
When fatal negligence robs a family of their loved one, surviving spouses and children face profound grief alongside unexpected financial burdens.
