The Law Office Of Black & DePaoli PC
At Black & DePaoli, we offer aggressive and experienced legal representation to people who need a personal injury lawyer in the California area. Finding an attorney to fight for you can be a daunting task. We know you deserve the best. Wasting your time with lawyers that don't go to trial and give in to the insurance companies, will leave you without the justice you deserve.

Call now so you don't have to handle this on your own anymore. When you're struggling with a personal injury the days can get pretty dark, but this firm and all their hard work gave me that light at the end of the tunnel. So very grateful for everyone who lent a hand in my case.
Services
TRAVIS BLACK is a retired police officer and insurance adjuster/ insurance attorney, he has experience in all the aspects of accident investigation, insurance claim processes, and the ways they try to shift blame and minimalize claim settlements. As an attorney who has been practicing law for more than 25 years, he has the ability to get you the full justice you deserve.
When you are hurt in an accident, dealing with significant medical expenses or property damage, you should enlist legal advice and representation from an experienced attorney. What is at stake is too important to leave to chance or your own efforts. This is a time sensitive decision as delays can impact securing witnesses or statements that will be essential in developing your case.
Personal injury is the branch of civil law pertaining to claims for damages between private entities. An injured claimant can file a personal injury claim against another individual, a privately-owned company, or other entity that they believe to be responsible for damages in the form of medical expenses, lost income, disability, property losses, and pain and suffering.
Insurance companies don't care about fairness or compassionate care for accident victims. After a crash, the insurance company for the other driver will begin collecting evidence and trying to minimize your injuries and the value of your case. Although the adjuster may seem friendly, he or she is not on your side and owes you no duty of loyalty.
Many people are injured or killed each year as a result of a trucking accident. When a commercial vehicle hits a smaller vehicle or rolls over on the highway, the consequences are often devastating. Even if a truck driver walks away relatively unscathed, pedestrians or people in cars or on motorcycles may be injured or killed due to the weight and size of the truck.

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Shon Christensen and the rest of the team at The Law Office of Black & DePaoli. Not only did they make the entire process so easy, but it was completed in less than TWO MONTHS! Shon provided excellent communication and updates throughout the entire process. He ensured we were being treated fairly and guaranteed the best possible outcome. The amount of effort, time, and dedication he put towards our case was truly outstanding. If you are looking for reliable, reputable, friendly, approachable, and honest representation - look no further

The care with which Kelsey DePaoli handled my case was more than I had expected. I always felt supported and like the follow through with her communication and professionalism throughout the entire process was very reassuring. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and it’s clear from the moment you meet her she cares a great deal about the client and quality of work she provides them. I can’t say enough great things about my experience and absolutely a thousand times would recommended her to handle any case.

We (my husband & I) were in an accident, hit by a motorcycle. Totalled my car, and resulted in various injuries including surgery. Never used an attorney before nor been in a car accident. We didn't know what to do, & our case was 'delicate'. Travis and Kelsey (their whole crew) was beyond incredible. I can't say enough of how they handled our case. Imagine you had a bada** uncle that happened to be the best attorney around. That is how they treated us, like your strongest family fighting in your corner. Supporting us thru the whole process, sometimes a conversation

I was rear ended on the freeway during my pregnancy and knew I needed help settling with the insurance company. The team worked with me and in my favor to make sure I got reasonable compensation. I could not have pictured a better outcome and stress-free process. Kelsey was very informational and helpful. Travis Black helped me directly once, which was a nice surprise since I had a case manager as well. I would highly recommend their services.

Travis represented me on a personal injury case. He delayed doing anything until the statute of limitations was almost up and then dropped the case. A terrible experience!

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in 2017 and needed a attorney. I asked 2 reputable business people if they knew of a law firm and both of them recommended Travis Black & Associates. I cannot emphasize enough how great this firm is. They are professionals and take great care of their clients. Believe me I had a situation with a firm in my earlier life and was disgusted with every aspect of their services. Thanks Travis Black & Associates

I highly recommend Travis Black and Associates! I was involved in an auto accident in August 2016. I was forced to take the attorney route based on how the other party’s insurance company was treating me. I’m so glad I went with Travis Black and his team! They handled everything so quickly and professionally. I’ll definitely refer them to anyone I know. Thank you to everyone that handled my case - I truly appreciate everything!

It was unfortunate but I was involved in an automobile accident two years ago. I had never had to hire a lawyer for this type of situation. I was referred to Travis Black by my Probate lawyer. I must say they did an excellent job in handling my case. They took all my worries away and got a great settlement for my accident. They handled my case very professionally. I was very satisfied and happy to work with the professionals at this firm. Thanks to all who worked my case!

I wasn't sure how many stars to give a personal injury practice that you don't hear from (in a good way). My car was demolished and my back was hurt in June 2016. Kelsey and Shon walked me through the scenarios that I might expect as I slowly healed during the coming months. As I recuperated and saw doctors, pain management specialists and did physical therapy, I wasn't always patient but Shon especially took the time to answer my questions patiently and in full. I had a successful outcome and I am not only physically better but received a satisfactory settlement. Very pleased

My husband and I are very grateful and blessed to have had Travis and his team by our side. My husband was in a terrible accident and Travis and his team were so very kind and attentive. They responded to our calls and e-mails promptly and listened to our needs. I highly recommend them to anyone going through the horrors of personal injuries. In the beginning not knowing what to do was frustrating and scary. Once we found Travis it was a weight lifted off our shoulders. He personally took the time to come meet with us, to explain the process and what was to come, he went above and beyond, and would

I was in an auto accident and both parties had the same insurance. What a nightmare! The friendly folks at Travis Black and associates helped me every step of the way! They were helpful and very easy to get a hold of. I spoke with Travis, Kelsey and Sofia as well as the friendly front office phone staff and every interaction was handled with attentive and fabulous customer service. I would recommend this outfit to anyone who feels that insurance is jerking them around.
