Law Office of Weltin & Streb

“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.”
—Thomas Jefferson

The civil jury trial remains a great equalizer in American society. It allows an individual who has been harmed to present a claim for his injuries, often pitting the individual against the government or large corporations with vast resources. Trial before a jury of one’s peers helps to ensure a fair presentation of the case and increases the likelihood that the truth is exposed. An experienced trial attorney can help the individual obtain justice in the courtroom, no matter what resources the parties have.

At Weltin, Streb & Weltin, we are trial lawyers. Since 1972, we have helped individuals obtain justice in America’s courts. Often facing long odds, we are aggressive, passionate advocates for our clients, working tirelessly to obtain justice. Our track records in jury trials, administrative hearings, and negotiating settlements reflects our commitment to obtaining full compensation for our clients.

Our firm represents individuals in personal injury and employment cases. We have extensive experience in all types of maritime personal injury cases, including claims on behalf of injured longshoremen and Jones Act sailors. We handle all types of personal injury cases, including auto accidents, wrongful death claims, and complex defective products and toxic exposure cases. We also regularly represent injured workers in California workers’ compensation claims, and in claims under the Defense Base Act and Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentalities Act, and represent employees in claims for wage-and-hour violations, wrongful termination, harassment and discrimination. We never represent employers or insurance companies.

You have no up-front expense in a case with our firm. We take most cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that we only get paid when we successfully recover compensation for you. You can be sure that we are doing all we can to obtain the best result possible for you. In claims arising out of workplace injuries, your employer is generally required to pay our legal fees.

We have obtained numerous results in excess of one million dollars. We are proud of our track record. If you have suffered injury on the job or due to the conduct of another, contact our office for a free confidential consultation today.
