Jorge F. Ramirez received his Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Political Science from California State University Long Beach in 1996, where he was recognized as a member of the Pi Sigma Alpha National Political Science Honor Society. Mr. Ramirez received his Juris Doctor degree from Whittier Law School in 2000, where he was recipient of the CALI Award of Excellence. Mr. Ramirez also studied in Mexico at the University of Guanajuato School of Law as a part of a Summer Law Institute program co-sponsored by New Mexico School of Law and Texas Tech School of Law, where he studied International Arbitration, NAFTA, and International Business Law.

Mr. Ramirez is admitted to the State Bar of California, United States District Court for the Central District of California and United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. He has been practicing law since 2001 and his primary area of practice is personal injury representing tort victims arising from motor vehicle accidents, product liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, police misconduct, civil rights and wrongful death. He also has a limited practice in business matters and related litigation. He has taken several cases to trial. He has recovered millions of dollars for his clients.

Verdicts & Settlements

Chris and his associates have successfully litigated over 5,000 personal injury claims to verdict or claims that have been settled prior to trial or arbitration, ranging in value from $25,000 to $16.2 million.

Chris belongs to the American Association of Justice (formerly known as the American Trial Lawyers Association), the Consumer Attorneys Of California, the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, and the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association. Chris has also been admitted to all of the courts of the State of California, and has argued cases in the Federal Courts as well as the California Court of Appeals. He shares strategies and communicates daily with his Plaintiff attorney colleagues across the State of California on topics including trial tactics, judge selection, expert witness background information, medical provider credibility, etc.

These strategies help put his clients in the best position to allow them to resolve their injuries as quickly as possible, and to obtain fair compensation from at-fault parties who are oftentimes represented by insurance companies that seem to have lost the ability to even understand the definition of “fair.”

He has worked on almost every type of personal injury claim imaginable, including motor vehicle collisions, product liability claims, slip, trip and fall claims, premises liability claims, animal inflicted injury claims, work related claims, sexual assault claims, and the list goes on.

The common theme to all of these claims was that someone was injured and they needed help. Chris’ goal in helping people is two fold; get them better and get them fair compensation.

Chris has recovered compensation on behalf of his clients 95% of the time. Chris does not shy away from taking on difficult liability claims when the injuries are substantial, which is why it is not at 100%.
