His practice is exclusively devoted to wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases. He goes to trial. He wins.
Named Orange County Trial Lawyer of the Year — twice. Inducted into ABOTA. Recognized by peers, courts, and clients across California as the attorney other attorneys call when they have a wrongful death case.
Every wrongful death is unique. Every family's loss is profound. HGL represents clients across all causes of wrongful death — in settlement and at trial.
HGL has earned numerous eight, seven, and six figure jury verdicts throughout his career — results that reflect not just skill, but the willingness to take the hardest cases all the way to trial and win.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique.
HGL has been a proud member of ABOTA since 2014. ABOTA is one of the most elite trial lawyer organizations in the United States — fewer than 1% of all American lawyers qualify for membership. Admission is by invitation only, requires rigorous vetting, and demands a proven record of jury trials taken to verdict.
Most personal injury firms settle every case. HGL is a trial lawyer who regularly stand before juries — and insurance companies know it. That reputation drives better outcomes, in and out of the courtroom.
HGL doesn't dabble. Our entire practice is focused on the most serious cases — families who have lost someone and deserve the undivided attention of a specialist.
HGL advances all costs and only collect if HGL recovers for your family. You face no financial risk in pursuing justice — that is our promise to every client.
You work with the attorney — not a paralegal or case manager. Your case deserves personal attention, and that is exactly what HGL provides.
The consultation is free. The conversation is confidential. And if HGL takes your case, there is no fee unless HGL wins.
