About Us

Diallo Scott, Principal

Mr. Scott has over 20 years of litigation experience.He has represented clients in civil litigation and injured workers and major insurance companies in workers’ compensation cases. He has also argued cases in front of the California Court of Appeals. The decision for the appeal in the case of Favila v. Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (2010) 188 Cal. App. 4th 189 created new law in the state and was published by the appellate court.

Mr. Scott been his career representing clients who had been discriminated against and harassed at work, and in business disputes. As his career progressed, he learned about California’s workers’ compensation system.

Mr. Scott eventually switched to workers’ compensation law. He initially represented major insurance companies and employers, where he gained valuable experience.He was able to learn their strategies and delay tactics.

Mr. Scott’s plan was always to represent injured workers. After several years he could no longer stand seeing insurance companies unfairly deny medical treatment, send injured workers back to work before being physically ready, and pressure them to settle for less compensation than they deserve for their injuries.He decided it was time to use the knowledge he learned to represent injured workers. He went to work for a prominent law firm that only represented injured workers. In 2018 Mr. Scott opened his own firm where he continues to use his knowledge to ensure clients get the best medical care and compensation for their injury.
