Personal Injury · Litigation

Lincoln Tran

Head of Litigation

A former insurance defense attorney, Lincoln now uses that experience exclusively to advocate for injury victims.

Lincoln leads the firm's litigation section and its personal injury practice. He spent years working alongside insurers and their counsel — learning from the inside how claims are evaluated, defended, and devalued. Today, that experience belongs to his clients: in coverage research, in demand strategy, and in knowing exactly when an insurer's "final offer" isn't final.

Clients describe Lincoln the same way again and again in their reviews: responsive, patient, clear, and genuinely invested in their recovery — the attorney who answers the text, explains the next step, and shields them from insurer pressure while they heal.

Probate · Estate · Real Estate

Brian M. Ngo

Partner & Co-Founder

A practical approach to the legal matters that intersect with an injury case.

Brian leads the firm's probate, estate, and real estate practices. In personal injury matters, his work matters more than clients expect — wrongful death cases require probate and heirship coordination, and serious injuries often raise estate planning questions families haven't faced before. Brian's practical, client-centered approach — honed through years of civil litigation and transactional practice — keeps those moving parts working together.
