About Ralph W.

He earned a Bachelor of Science from California State University, Sacramento, then took his law degree at the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law. He later completed an LL.M. at the University of San Diego School of Law.
Early in his career he gravitated toward workplace injury matters. Over time that interest deepened into a specialty. He is a Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist through the State Bar of California, a credential that marks additional training and examination in that area of law.

His role as partner involves case strategy, advising clients on claims and hearings, and supervising litigation through administrative proceedings.
He belongs to the California Applicants' Lawyers Association. The group centers on advocacy for claimants in the workers' compensation system, and membership keeps him plugged into changes in law and practice that affect injured workers.
