Case Results

Since 2000, the attorneys of John Gomez Law Firm have obtained over $150 million in compensation for their clients with more than twenty-five awards exceeding $1 million. They have obtained those verdicts and settlements in cases involving defective products, worker safety, government liability, employment practices, business cases and serious personal injury and wrongful death. Two recent jury verdicts demonstrate the types of extraordinary results they deliver at trials for their clients. In 2005, John Gomez obtained a record $1.6 million jury verdict against a crematorium for mishandling the remains of his clients' mother. While there have been hundreds of lawsuits involving mishandling of remains, that verdict is the largest in history for a similar individual case. Click here for news accounts of that verdict. In 2006, John obtained a record $106 million verdict against the County of San Diego and Kristin Rossum in a case arising out of the "American Beauty" murder case. The case received local, national, and international coverage. Click here for a video compilation of news accounts of the case. The verdict is the largest wrongful death verdict ever obtained in California and the $100 million punitive damage component against Kristin Rossum is the largest punitive award ever imposed against an individual in the history of American jurisprudence. In 2008, Robert Hamparyan obtained five successful jury verdicts for his clients. Because of those results, and because of settlements he obtained in excess of one million dollars, he was named the 2008 “Trial Attorney of the Year” by the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego – the highest honor a San Diego trial lawyer can receive. John Gomez was the 2006 Trial Attorney of the Year. The Gomez Law Firm works hard on your side to obtain those kinds of extraordinary results for every one of our clients.
