Representing Police Officers And Firefighters In Workers’ Comp Cases
Residents throughout Ventura County and Santa Barbara County have you to thank for maintaining their safety on a daily basis. Whether you serve as a police officer or firefighter, your commitment to your job limits the negative impact of crime, fire and naturally-occurring disasters on the citizens of Southern California.
As a result of your proficiency in securing a scene and mitigating dangerous conditions, much of your work is accomplished without the public’s awareness. Rather than seeking acknowledgment, you find protection of the vulnerable to be its own reward.

For more than two decades, the legal professionals at have been advocating on behalf of public employees seeking workers’ compensation benefits. Our founding attorney, Paul F. Kinsler, has extensive legal experience navigating the complex process required by area municipalities. His success in representing police officers, firefighters and wildfire fighters in their claims appeals has resulted in his clients’ receiving maximum compensation for their injuries in minimum time.
