Northern California Personal Injury Attorney
Kelly Balamuth
I have been representing injured and wronged clients since 1994. I pride myself on standing up for individuals against insurance companies, corporations, and others who hesitate or refuse to take responsibility for their actions.
I care about the clients I represent. They aren't just clients, but people. My experiences with my own children and family help me relate to the troubles that can besiege someone when they are hurt or when they lose a loved one. I try to bring those experiences to my work and it has helped my clients trust that I am a human being just like them, only with a law degree and years of experience as a trial lawyer.
I have always striven for excellence in my legal career and am proud of the many cases that have concluded with clients as satisfied as they could be with my representation.
