Roberto Acevedo

FOUNDER/TRIAL LAWYER

For the past 20 years, Roberto Acevedo has been representing injured clients. “Building a relationship with my clients is vital to representing them,” said Acevedo. “I can’t tell my clients’ stories if I don’t know them on a personal level,” he added. As part of that commitment, he gives out his personal cell number to every client, encouraging them to call anytime with questions.

Roberto has devoted his career to getting justice for his injured clients, recovering millions on their behalf. His work primarily involves cases arising from automobile accidents, as well as wrongful death, premises liability, and workers’ compensation claims.

Roberto represents people who have suffered serious injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Neck and low back injuries (herniated discs)

  • Fractured bones

  • Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries

  • Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

  • Disfigurement
