Ask Super Lawyers

Why has Girardi & Keese been so successful in cases against medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers?
The Los Angeles-based firm’s success in the field is the result of five factors: understanding, resources, experience, creativity and dedication.

How does Girardi & Keese’s intellectual property practice benefit the U.S. economy?
The growth of the U.S. economy is based on innovation. Innovation relies on our legal system of intellectual property protection.

What should I consider when I am choosing a personal injury attorney?
Truck crashes, auto accidents, dangerous premises and construction site accidents often result in spinal, neck and back injuries; brain and head injuries; fractures; or burns.

I’m unhappily married with three children. I want a divorce, but I’m afraid the system is skewed in favor of mothers. To complicate matters, I recently pleaded guilty to a DUI (my first). If I file for divorce, what are the odds I won’t be given custody?
Legal custody is the right to participate in decisions for your children.  

What are the advantages of a Collaborative Divorce (CP)?
Collaborative Divorce (or Collaborative Practice-CP) offers parties a greater degree of control over dispute resolution.  

If I’m injured by an FDA-approved prescription drug that has a detailed warning label, may I seek compensation from the drug’s manufacturer?
Yes, you may bring a failure-to-warn claim when a pharmaceutical manufacturer’s inadequate warning of a risk results in an injury.

Should I fight my D.W.I.?

How do I protect my child from sexual abuse or mistreatment at school, in organized sports or in other settings when I’m not around?
The news is filled with stories about kids being abused in places where they should be safe.

What can I do to minimize my attorney’s fees in a divorce?
There are practical, cost-effective solutions to most issues that arise in a divorce and your attorney can help find the best one to suit your needs. Although court intervention is an option, it is generally the more costly alternative.

This summer, I want to take my kids to Hawaii for a two-week vacation. Can my ex-spouse deny my request to take the kids out of California?
Yes, he or she can—that is, until you get a court order. As family law attorneys, we are familiar with the Family Law Automatic Restraining Orders (ATROS), which restrict both parties from removing a minor child or children from the state of California without prior written consent of the other party or an order from the court.
