We emphasize the following areas:

  • Business disputes.

    • We handle lawsuits involving businesses, representing either side. Don’t ask us to write you a detailed contract or to prepare your will! We do lawsuits, not prevention. If you need a referral to a “prevention” attorney (known as a “transactional lawyer”), a bankruptcy or any other non-litigation attorney, please contact us for a referral. No one can do it all; we restrict our practice to litigation.

  • Substantial “personal injury” and death cases.

    • This is something that Mr. Kapp has been doing since he was first licensed in 1979.

  • Medical malpractice cases (“we sue doctors!”).

    • We do handle cases against Kaiser and public entities (such as County hospitals). For more information and FAQs about medical malpractice, click here.

  • Legal malpractice cases (we represent and sue lawyers accused of negligence).

  • Insurance coverage and “bad faith” cases.

    Mr. Kapp has been involved in insurance coverage disputes since the late 1970s. These cases can be either a subclass of “business dispute” cases or even a form of a personal injury case, depending on lots of factors, including the type of insurance involved and the identity of the victims.

  • Civil appeals
