ROUDA FEDER TIETJEN & MCGUINN has secured record setting results and maximum compensation for their catastrophically injured clients in matters of serious personal injury for over 40 years. Based in San Francisco, the firm is known to the public, its peers, its opponents and judges, as skilled litigators and trial lawyers who take on powerful corporations and businesses and win. They have a reputation for being professional, highly skilled legal advocates who are accessible to and compassionate toward their clients. This winning combination has enabled the firm to resolve thousands of cases, resulting in multimillion dollar jury verdicts and settlements, as well as numerous awards and honors both locally and nationally. Recognition follows results. Partners John Feder, Cynthia McGuinn and June Bashant have been honored by The Best Lawyers in America® for 2024 in the area of plaintiff personal injury and product liability. Each is similarly recognized by Super Lawyers, by Law Dragon in 2023 as top 500 leading plaintiff consumer attorneys and by National Distinguished Counsel as “Nations Top One Percent.” In 2023, Attorney Robert G. Igleheart was again recognized as “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers.
Cynthia McGuinn, a prior recipient of San Francisco Trial Lawyer of the Year awarded by the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association for her jury trial verdicts, and a 2022 award as Cal ABOTA Trial Lawyer of the Year, has also been named “Lawyer of the Year” by Best Lawyers® for Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in San Francisco for 2023. In August 2023, McGuinn was honored as the first woman recipient of the American Board of Trial Advocates Lifetime Achievement Award, an honor previously bestowed only ten times in the organization’s 65-year history. She follows in the footsteps of firm founder Ronald H. Rouda, who also received the award in 2011. Cynthia has spent much of 2023 advancing the right to trial by jury in civil matters through organizational and community work. Rouda Feder Tietjen & McGuinn’s ability to provide top-tier advocacy for wrongfully injured victims continues to set them apart. Recent results illustrate the point. In the last two years, John Feder has successfully resolved numerous cases involving premises liability, construction site accidents, medical malpractice, trucking, pedestrian, motorcycle and bicycle incidents causing wrongful death and catastrophic injuries.

In 2022, June Bashant and John Feder obtained a settlement in excess of 15 million dollars for catastrophically injured tourists involved in a crossover collision on a two-lane roadway. Bashant additionally obtained a seven-figure settlement for a teacher who was struck by a personal transport vehicle in a stadium parking lot. In 2023, June obtained a policy limit, six figure settlement, in the wrongful death of a school crossing guard. In 2023, June also obtained a policy limit, six figure settlement, when a cyclist in the south bay was struck from behind by a distracted driver in an SUV. Also, in 2023, June obtained a seven-figure settlement in a utility vehicle rollover incident where her client was trapped underneath the vehicle with a severely crushed and degloved foot. Partner John Feder describes the firm’s approach as “Client Centered.” “We and our staff get to know our clients and their families. Being available and responsive to their inquiries, answering their questions in a timely manner and keeping them abreast of the progress of their cases allows them to focus on recovery and allows their families to adjust to the challenges that arise from the injury.” Adds June Bashant: “It’s true. So much of what we do for our clients falls outside the litigation arena. People need help to navigate a life substantially altered by catastrophic injury or the death of a family member. We see our role as including both the tenacity for litigation to protect and advocate for our clients while recognizing that compassion is an

You should be extremely proud of this monumental victory! This nightmare in our lives was absolutely unbearable at times, but your demeanor, optimism and strength kept us going. I think we made a good team, and I am ever grateful for your care and diligence in the smallest detail and always being a phone call away. No empty promises, just the right amount of information to help us get to the next step. If you weren’t Zachary’s attorney, we would never have accomplished the result in this case. Additionally, I want to say that your assistant is an absolute gem as well and you are so fortunate to have her working alongside you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

he Scarlett Law Group is both lead counsel and co-counsel in various high-value and well-known cases, all designed to secure justice for victims of catastrophic injuries and to protect consumers from medical malpractice, transportation hazards and harmful products. “Recent years have been among the most challenging for everyone on physical, economic and social levels,” said Randall H. Scarlett, who founded the firm more than 30 years ago. “Our goal is to remain mindful of those who need the strongest representation, often due to the intricacy of catastrophic injuries.” Staffed with seasoned personal injury and civil trial attorneys, Scarlett Law Group is renowned as one of the most successful plaintiff’s law firms in Northern California. In 2023, U.S. News - Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” again ranked Scarlett Law Group as Tier 1 in San Francisco for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintif fs— one of many honors bestowed by the media and legal community. With decades of experience and success as an injury litigator, Scarlett is widely regarded as a trailblazer in matters related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). A founding member of the Brain Injury Association of California and serving as Board emeritus, Scarlett is revered as a nationwide leader by his peers, the medical community, and the public and in this complex

practice area. “Having favorably resolved so many TBI cases, every lawyer and staff member of the firm understands the fragility of the brain and how such an injury can alter a victim’s life,” said Scarlett, who has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® annually since 2009 for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in San Francisco. “This insight is at the core of our mission to secure justice and full compensation for clients so they can focus their efforts on healing and recovery.” Under Scarlett’s leadership, the firm frequently obtains seven- and eight-figure verdicts and settlements when handling cases against well-funded entities. Representative results include: • $22.8 Million. Single plaintiff verdict as a result of a bus making an illegal turn, striking a pedestrian and causing a severe traumatic brain injury. (Shi v. Coach USA; 2007) • $18.6 Million. Verdict as a result of a big rig rearending plaintiffs’ decedent on State Route 156. The suit involved claims against the trucking company and driver as well as the State of California as a result of a dangerous condition. (Almanza v. State of California, et al.; 2015) • $49.123 Million. Single plaintiff verdict resulting from
a multi-truck collision, which caused a severe TBI sustained by a 23-year-old man. The suit also named the State of California as a result of a dangerous condition on Highway 152. The verdict remains among the largest-ever awarded by Santa Clara County. (Bianchi v. Gordan Trucking, et al.; 2009) Randall A. Scarlett, Mr. Scarlett’s son, has practiced alongside his father since 2019 and continues the firm’s tradition of excellence. He is handling numerous cases involving dangerous roadways and negligent commercial driving that caused catastrophic injuries and death. “O ur approach alway s ini t iall y focuses on t he individual client and their family,” Randall A. Scarlett said. “Understanding their injuries and the prolonged impact it has on them and those who care for them helps frame our approach and informs how our work can make a meaningful difference in their lives.” Scarlett added that the Scarlett Law Group’s commitment to safety transcends the courtroom and has led to several improvements that were made in California to reduce future road risks. “Many of our clients want some assurance that the dangerous conditions, whether that be physical conditions or a roadway or improper maintenance or training with respect to commercial drivers, are remedied so that no other family has to endure the same circumstances,” he said. “Those actions often have the most impact, and we are proud that our advocacy has effectuated those types of changes.” Keeping Society Safe in the Aftermath of Tragedy Scarlett Law Group also demonstrates leadership in a major matter that has the potential to improve the state of gun violence in the U.S. The firm represents 12 victims and survivors of the mass shooting that occurred at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in 2019. This groundbreaking lawsuit—for which the firm is joined by Brady Legal, an organization dedicated to ending America’s gun violence epidemic—is brought against the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association and the City of Gilroy, as well as a security company for their negligent lack of security and preparedness. Century Arms LLC is also named as a defendant for marketing and selling the WASR-10 military-style assault rifle used by the shooter. “We feel the enormity of the physical and emotional devas tation at ever y client meeting, and we are honored to represent the families and victims,” said Randall A . Scarlet t. “ We intend to prove how this horrific tragedy could have been prevented and try to help these families recover. Furthermore, we aim to secure a result that strengthens protections for the public so that they can enjoy their lives and hobbies without fear of gun violence.” Ultimately, the firm thrives as a collaborative, multitalented unit. The administrative leader of the litigation department is Mary Anne Scarlett, a seasoned legal professional and the spouse of Randall H. Scarlett. Her deep experience in complex matters, such as the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Litigation, uniquely positions her to prepare all phases of the firm’s trial preparation. Many of the lawyers and staff have been with the firm for decades, adding to the Scarlett Law Group’s familial atmosphere and underscoring their belief in its mission of providing exceptional, personalized service. “Scarlett Law Group often take cases that others may perceive as risky,” Randall H. Scarlett noted. “But we confront wrongdoing to improve conditions for our clients, local communities and society at large.

California Court Rules Against Westlands Water District By Gregory Sirico
U.S. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION, MPGIS SERVICE CENTER IN COORDINATION WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES.
ON
August 7, the Fresno County Superior Court of Appeals in California ruled against the Westlands Water District, a major U.S.-based agricultural water company aiming to permanently secure access to federally controlled water in the state. After three years of legal action, environmental groups, local tribal activists and other supportive parties successfully managed to reverse a 2020 contract agreement between the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the agricultural company. Previously, the contract granted Westlands access to roughly 1.15 million acre-feet of water each year, which, according to reports, is more than double the amount of water that a major city such as Los Angeles and its 3.9 million residents use annually. The ruling, confirmed by Associate Justice Rosendo Peña Jr., fully affirms a 2021 judgment that dismissed Westlands Water District’s previous attempt to validate a contract primarily due to missing information regarding the company’s pending financial obligations. Despite this development, the recent ruling doesn’t entirely end the contract Westlands established with the federal government in June 2020. Adam Keats, a lawyer who offered counsel to the nonprofit California Water Impact Network, among other groups, is working firsthand on the case. “The whole thing was a rip-off. We prevented Westlands from validating their contract. That was our goal, and now we have a chance to reverse the contract,” stated Keats, as reported by the Los Angeles Times. Additionally, Keats said that the original deal arrived during a time when David Bernhardt, a former Westlands lobbyist and lawyer, acted as the Interior
“Whether it’s almond and pistachio producers or cultivators of other essential crops, the Westlands Water District spreads across roughly 600,000 acres from Fresno to Kings County.” Secretary under former President Trump. At the heart of this longstanding legal battle is the water itself, which runs through the federally owned and operated Central Valley Project, an intricate system of artificial canals and reservoirs that transports the dwindling natural resource from the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to farmlands across the state. Whether it’s almond and pistachio producers or cultivators of other essential crops, the Westlands Water District spreads across roughly 600,000 acres from Fresno to Kings County. According to Keats and various environmental critics, their apprehension and overall concern with diverting water from the delta lies in the heavily seleniumcontaminated wastewater produced by Westlands machine harvesting fields, which led to the poisoning of birds located in the Kesterson National Wildlife Refuge during the 1980s. “Instead of continuing to grow almonds and pistachios, a better use for the land would be to cover it with solar panels. They should stop putting water in that ground, no matter what it produces in terms of food. It’s a terrible place to be irrigating,” concluded Keats. W W W.BESTL AW Y ERS.COM

Family Law San Jose, CA
ince 2003, Michèle M. Bissada has dedicated her legal career to being a certified specialist in the Family Law practice area. Bissada, who is a founding owner and partner at Flicker, Kerin, Kruger & Bissada LLP in Menlo Park, California, is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) and a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts (AFCC), a national organization set on addressing children’s issues in divorce. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2021, Bissada is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Family Law in San Jose for 2024. Of her legal career and recent recognition, Bissada stated: “It is my honor to serve as the 2023 Northern California Chapter President of the AAML. In this position, I represent our Chapter among other highly experienced and well-respected family law attorneys throughout the nation. I am very involved in the AAML Northern California Chapter, the National AAML organization and the National Foundation. I serve on several AAML National and Foundation Committees, where I share our California Chapter accomplishments and assist in developing National programs and awarding grants to worthy non-profits. After almost 30 years of practice, I am always intrigued by the interesting and complex financial situations we face in highasset dissolution cases. I strive to assist clients with the efficient and amicable division of their illiquid private equity and venture capital assets, which can be difficult to value and divide. “I pride myself on listening to my clients and their needs, while also educating them on what they will face during their dissolution case. However, I am also up front and honest with my clients about the likelihood of success regarding their ‘wish list’ based on the facts of their situation and the current legal landscape. Clients may feel initially disappointed to hear the reality of how things may end up in a reasonable settlement or in court, but they certainly appreciate that I do not make unrealistic promises regarding the outcome of their case. By separating my emotions from the traumas my clients face, I can be objective for them and guide them toward the best results for their case. An attorney’s strength is not only advocating for their clients but providing clients with guidance on the risks and benefits of settlement versus litigation.” Over the course of her 20-year legal career, Bissada has honed her skills as a mediator, serving as a family law consulting attorney and offering services as a settlement judge. Additionally, Bissada is also trained in matters of collaborative law, which provide clients with an alternative method of dispute resolution and settlement without going to trial. “As a named partner at a relatively large family law firm of 13 attorneys, I am constantly mentoring young attorneys. Through my mentoring, I work to promote the excellence of the practice of family law. This is a commitment I have made throughout my almost 30 years in practice and comminute to do so through my involvement in the AAML. I also am a Co-Group Leader of an AAML Mentoring Group for young attorneys of our AAML Northern California Chapter, as well as having Co-Chaired several times our Trial Practicum Course to train young attorneys on Family Law trials. I have devoted my career to mentoring younger attorneys to help them build their reputation and develop into brilliant and ethical professionals.” W W W.BE S T L AW Y E RS .C O M | 11

Making A Meaningful Difference in Clients’ Lives
Scarlett Law Group is one of California’s catastrophic injury trailblazers. The firm’s ability to connect transportation accidents and traumatic brain injuries uniquely positions them for success.
C
ALIFORNIA IS RENOWNED for its many scenic routes and historic sites, but its 177,000 miles of roads, streets and highways are also extremely hazardous. According to TRIP, a national transportation research nonprofit, 4,407 traffic fatalities occurred in California in 2022—a 22% increase from 2019. Risk is clearly assumed from the moment anyone takes to the road, and it is no wonder that motor vehicle and trucking litigation are among the most critical practice areas for the catastrophic injury professionals of the Scarlett Law Group. “Our firm has represented countless victims who have suffered catastrophic injury as well as traumatic brain injury on the road,” said firm founder and principal Randall H. Scarlett, who has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® annually since 2009 for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs in San Francisco. “Each injury is unique. But many are preventable—whether they were caused by reckless or distracted driving, negligence or poorly maintained roads.” The Intersection of Commercial and Trucking Litigation and Traumatic Brain Injury Scarlett Law Group has built a reputation for success in representing plaintiffs in transportationbased catastrophic injuries. The firm is litigating several major claims against the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS), other state agencies and well-funded employers in matters such as: • A big rig truck that severely injured several vic tims when it essentially became a runaway on State Route 25 and collided with a stopped vehicle.
BY JUSTIN SMULISON
• •
Bus driver negligence which resulted in an overturned bus and several injuries and fatalities. Catastrophic collision resulting in traumatic injuries and death on Highway 101 in San Benito County due to a combination of improper maintenance of the areas adjacent to the roadway. Multiple lives were altered when a 70-foot eucalyptus tree uprooted and blocked multiple lanes. Additionally, one of the firm’s clients was pregnant at the time of the accident.
“Scarlett Law Group has built a reputation for success in representing plaintiffs in transportation-based catastrophic injuries.” Scarlett notes that trucking litigation is extremely complex due to the destructiveness of the injuries and wreckage. Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a frequent consequence but are not always immediately apparent. Thankfully for those affected, Scarlett is one of the foremost legal authorities on TBI. A founding member of the Brain Injury Association of California and serving as Board Emeritus, he has deep experience connecting with juries on how trucks, big rigs, commercial haulers and construction site vehicles can cause permanent brain damage. Confidence is high for the aforementioned
ongoing cases due to Scarlett Law Group’s record of success. The firm has secured several high-value verdicts on behalf of plaintiffs in trucking matters, including $49.123 million in 2009 for a 23-year-old man who sustained a TBI as a result of a multitruck collision on Highway 152. The suit was filed against the trucking company and others, including the State of California, which was found liable for dangerous conditions. In 2015, the firm secured an $18.6 million verdict as a result of a big rig rear-ending the plaintiff’s decedent. The suit involved claims against the trucking company and driver and the State of California as a result of a dangerous condition on Highway 156. “We proudly secured resolutions that helped the victims and their families heal from physical and mental injuries,” Scarlett says, noting that the impact of the firm’s advocacy did not end with the financial award. “These two heart-wrenching cases—among others—inspired changes to the roadways in an effort to limit future collisions.” But despite the progress made through the messages sent via the courtroom, injuries continue to occur on California highways. The Scarlett Law Group strives to make a meaningful difference in the lives of its clients and also to improve road safety in California. “Numerous dangerous road conditions in California were identified and appropriately modified as a result of many of our efforts. But the work continues,” Scarlett notes. “The public and those who suffered harm or the loss of loved ones can find some solace in knowing their injuries are not forgotten—we will always fight to ensure everyone can safely take to the road.”

ONES TO WATCH AWARDS These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details
